Picture a man standing on a mountain listening for God to speak, but instead he encounters destructive winds, an earthquake, and a fire. Then when the noise has passed, he hears a still, small voice.
In years past, when I've substituted for my children's teachers, I've been in charge of a group of noisy kids. I don't like to repeat myself and try to talk over the chaos, so at times I had to wait for them to notice my silence before they quieted enough to hear me.
We can imagine God as that teacher who waits for us to be ready to listen before He'll speak. Join me at Seek God With Me for my blog post on this subject.
