A Still Small Voice

A Still Small Voice

Scriptures to have on hand while listening:


Psalms 46:10. AMP
Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our High Tower and Stronghold). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Be still in other versions:
NASB: “Cease striving.” 
Literal:  Relax You. 

Note about toil:
"I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one." (toil). John 17:15

The words "evil one" are translated from a Greek word that means toil.  Satan always wants to bring people into toil.  But God wants to bring us into His rest and stillness.  "Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

Still Small Voice

Note: 1 Kings 19: 11-14
Here Elijah ran from Jezebel (King Ahab’s wife) in fear of his life, and went traveled 40 days to Horeb (the mountain of God) and hid in a cave. And this is where God spoke to him.  God was gracious to him, and had an angel feed him for this long trip.  And then He spoke to Elijah on the mountain where he was hiding.  

1 Kings 19:12. KJV
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. NASB
After the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing.

1 Kings 19:12. AMP
and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small voice.

1 Kings 19:12. NLT
And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.
