Listen in the Wilderness

Our growth as Christians does not primarily take place in comfortable situations. Many characters in the Bible find themselves in the wilderness right before God uses them to make a huge impact. God wants to do a mighty work in us because he wants to do a mighty work through us. God knows that we grow most through tough trials, serious testing and difficult circumstances. It’s in these places we find out God is always with us and he is working in us.

In this episode, Pastor Dan talks about how after Elijah’s greatest moment as a prophet of God, he flees in terror from the evil Queen Jezebel. He finds himself in a cave at Mt. Horeb. God asks him a very important question, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Elijah is there because he is vulnerable and afraid. God promises to speak to him, but He did not speak in the wind, He did not speak in the earthquake, and He did not speak in the fire. It was in the still small voice that Elijah heard from God. Sometimes, in our most vulnerable times of our lives, we must get very quiet to hear God speak to us.
