Wait and Listen

1 Kings 19:11-12 (The Message) Then he was told, "Go, stand on the mountain at attention before GOD. GOD will pass by." A hurricane wind ripped through the mountains and shattered the rocks before GOD, but GOD wasn't to be found in the wind; after the wind an earthquake, but GOD wasn't in the earthquake; and after the earthquake fire, but GOD wasn't in the fire; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper.

Recently a well known actress converted to Hinduism. She had been to Christian churches and had not recognized God. Other actors look to other false religions to fill that void in their life which is meant for Jesus. After trying all other sources they may turn inward and call themselves god. But there is only one God and the only way to Him is through Jesus. He is found when we listen to the gentle and quiet whisper of Holy Spirit, calling us to repentance. Looking at the world will bring confusion but listening to God brings salvation. Do not let the trends of famous people question your faith, stand waiting on God, He will pass by.

Love and God Bless,
