A Still Small Voice

"After the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire;

and after the fire a still small voice."


1 Kings 19:12


Today's Bible Reading: Kings 19:9–14.


We all yearn sometimes for a little quiet in a loud and busy world. Even the news we watch, and hear on the radio or on the social media we ingest bring a kind of clamorous ‘noise’ that competes for our attention. So much of it is infused with words and images that stir up negative emotions. Immersing ourselves in it can easily drown out the voice of God.


When the prophet Elijah went to meet God on the mountain of Horeb, he did not find Him in the loud, destructive wind or in the earthquake or in the fire (1 Kings 19:11-12). It was not until Elijah heard a “a still small voice  or gentle whisper” that he covered his face and ventured out of the cave to meet with “the Lord God Almighty” (v 12-14).


Your spirit may well be craving quiet but—even more so—it may be yearning to hear the voice of God. Find room for silence in your life so you will never miss God’s “still small voice ” (v 12).


Prayer: Loving Father, quiet my heart and mind so I am ready to meet with You today. In Jesus name. Amen.

Talk Vs Action

"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds

the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,

you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 5:20


Today's Bible Reading: Colossians 3:5-10.


In a decadent society the will to believe, to resist, to contend, to fight, to struggle, is gone. In place of this will to resist, there is the desire to conform, to drift, to follow, to yield, and to give up. This is what happened in the last days of the Rome Empire, but it also applies to us. The same conditions that prevailed in Rome prevail in our society. Before Rome fell, her standards were abandoned, the family disintegrated, divorce prevailed, immorality was rampant, and faith was at a low ebb. As the historian Gibbon said, “There was much talk of religion, but few practised it.”


Christ calls us to more than an outward religion — He calls us to a changed heart and a holy life. In a world drifting further from God, may we put off sin, resist conformity, and pursue the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ.


Prayer: May I be found worthy to bear the name Christian, Heavenly Father. In the name of Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.

Be A Soul Winner

"Peter, . . raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea

and all who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and heed my words. "

Acts 2:14


Today's Bible Reading: Acts 2:40-47.


We are all human, and we all make mistakes. There may have been times when we knew God was leading us to minister to somebody, but we did not do as He asked.


In those cases, we need to repent, move on, and not let it hinder us from doing what God has called every believer to do. The Apostle Peter erred and sinned by denying Jesus Christ three times, but on the day of Pentecost, he preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that day 3,000 souls were saved (Acts 2:41).


Let that be an example to us. Do not allow your mistakes take you away from God. Instead, let them be a reminder that we cannot do anything apart from Him!


Prayer: Lord God, help me to share the Gospel of my Saviour. In His name I ask. Amen.
