Jeromy's home!!! He's outside flying a kite that Mom and Dad bought him. Bonnie's out there giving him instructions. "Jeromy, Jeromy...can you hear me?" Jeromy..."Yea." Bonnie..."Then why aren't you doing what I tell you?"
We are just like that with our Heavenly Father. We hear God instructing us on the simple things of life, that we think we can handle. Yet before we know it, we have a tangled mess. "Can you hear Me?" "Yes, Lord" But we aren't listening. We truly are, regardless of our ages, children of God.
God still speaks. He may not whisper in our ear, but he speaks to our heart which is much louder. Just as sometimes we have trouble hearing with our ears, we also have trouble hearing with our heart. Our lack of hearing with our heart isn't a hearing problem though, it's a heart problem. If our heart is not in tune with God we will have difficulty hearing.
We have to remember that God is not loud in His speech. Elijah heard God but He wasn't in the storm or the earthquake. When Elijah heard God, it was in a still, small voice. A voice of confidence. A voice of assurance. A voice of truth. A voice of love. A voice of faithfulness...The Voice of God. "Can you hear Me??"
