Day 10: Through a Still, Small Voice

Day 10: Through a Still, Small Voice

Bible Reading

And 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)

Because God is all-powerful, we expect Him to speak in tangibly powerful ways. But when Elijah stood on Mount Horeb, God did not reveal Himself through the wind, the earthquake, or even the fire. Instead, God revealed Himself through a still, small voice. Why was this so significant? God’s ways are often quiet, personal, and unexpected. To hear Him, we must slow down, quiet the noise, and listen with open hearts. When we respond to God’s still, small voice with faith, it shapes our hearts and reminds us that He values faithfulness over fanfare and quiet obedience over outward show.

Focus: God often speaks through a still, small voice, inviting us to quiet our hearts and listen closely.

Act: Set aside ten quiet minutes today with no phone, no music, and no distractions. Invite God to speak, listen for what He says, and write it down.

Pray: God, thank You for speaking through a still, small voice. Slow my restless thoughts and calm my hurried spirit so I can truly hear You. Lead me into generosity that flows from quiet confidence in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Confession

Meditate on why God often chooses quietness over grandeur when speaking and what this reflects about His heart toward you.
