This Blog post is currently under construction – but look forward to it coming, soon. Here is a preview:

“…In the end, the story of Elijah reminds us that the God we serve is not diminished by His gentleness. The same God who can command wind, earthquake, and fire chooses instead to reveal Himself in silence.

Your grief may feel like a wilderness right now. Your prayers may feel like they’re evaporating before they reach heaven, or otherwise being scattered to the 4 corners of the Earth. You may be desperate for some dramatic sign that God still sees you, still cares, still remembers your name.

But perhaps God is already there, closer than your next breath, speaking so quietly or maybe even in silence, that the noise of the outside world (and I would dare say the noise of our inner worlds, most of all) must fade away for you to hear. Perhaps the silence you fear is actually the sacred space where the deepest communion happens; where words aren’t necessary because presence is enough.

The earthquake will pass. The fire will burn out. The wind will settle.

But the silence? The silence remains.

And in His gentle, still-small voice, God says what He has always said to His beloved children walking through the valley: “I am here. I have not left you. You are not alone.”
