Our Weekly Thought – August 3 - August 9, 2020

In this week’s first lesson (I Kings 19:9-18), the prophet Elijah was frightened, running from a King who was seeking to kill him because of an accurate prophecy, but one uncomplimentary to the King and the King’s plans. Hiding out in the mountains, God promised to speak to Elijah. Throughout the night, there was a violent, wild storm, with all manner of loud noises, yet none of them contained God’s voice. Instead, it was a still, small voice, of compressed silence, which contained the words of comfort and challenge that Elijah needed to hear. Where and when do you hear God’s voice? Seek to discover and nurture those places and times in your life.
