"Whispering Pssssst"


Let's jump across the street to the Sound Shop.
There are sounds coming from everywhere inside.
BOOM - BANG, CLASHes & CLANGs, LOUD HORNs BLARING, BLOWING WIND, RAIN, THUNDER & LIGHTENING, EARTHQUAKES, TORNADOes, HURRICANEs APPROACHING, ROARING FIREs, SCREAMs ...... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
The sounds are deafening so hurry, hold you ears as we go in.
All of those sounds definitely get my attention! Do they get yours? Look around and listen.

As I am walking down the isle of LIFE, I can see how useful these sounds have been in my life.

But now as I move to the back of the shop, I hear a "gentle whisper". It is so soft that I can actually hear it over those loud sounds.
Why in the world would that be in a Sound Shop? It's hardly the kind of sound to be heard in this place.

And then I remembered a most profound moment in my life, told to me by 1 King, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yaweh." (11-12 times if needed)

(And behold, Yewah passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces, B U T Yaweh was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; but Yaweh was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but Yeweh was not in the fire; and after the fires a still small voice).
So it was then that I heard it..........the whisper so gentle yet so resounding to my soul.

I knew at that moment, my answers were sometimes in the "psssst" (gentle whispers).

Yaweh wants us to be still and listen quietly.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, can you hear Him?
