Good morning; sometimes, in the struggles of life, we forget to stop and listen to the voice of God. “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). Elijah, the prophet of God, found himself in an emotional and mental state of depression, and he needed encouragement; he needed his spirit encouraged. Elijah was a man of God who allowed his emotions to get the best of him in the wilderness on the run from Jezebel, and he found himself in a cave of self-pity. Elijah was listening to the voice of Jezebel instead of the voice of God. He was hearing what Jezebel said she was going to do instead of listening for the voice of God what God had already done. “And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? Take time this morning to stop and listen to the voice of God. God is often not in the run, shout, or jump; God is speaking into your spirit with a still small voice, and the place of solitude (cave) my be where God has us so we will stop long enough to hear Him ask us “What doest thou here, ____________.” Place your name in the line and see what God is asking. Father, I pray this morning for those who are in an emotional cave this morning, that they would hear the voice of God and be encouraged to press forward. I pray you would find yourself a local body of believers and join them in worship on this Lord’s Day. Be Blessed in Jesus Name!
