Still Small Voice

The Good News Today Is...the Holy Spirit is the still small voice. As I was reading an article about how to hear from God when we are in a crisis, I came across this line; "When you look for the spectacular, you're liable to miss the supernatural that is right in front of you all along." Sometimes we want a dramatic response from God so that we know we are doing the right thing. We want a visible sign, an in your face event that will be so evident we can't miss is. A windstorm, thunderstorm, an accident, something that screams at us to stop or to go ahead when we are in a crisis. Sometimes that happens, but more often it is in the quiet, when we put aside the crisis and we start to listen, when we stop whining and we start praying. Then our minds and our lives settle down enough so we can hear that still small voice that is always there. That still small voice that is waiting patiently to guide us. That still small voice that is the Holy Spirit of God, who we often overlook because we need the spectacular. The still small voice, the supernatural Spirit who loves us. Quiet yourself, pray, listen.
