In A Gental Whisper...

What this means for today's Christian Community of faith is
important.. First, although God can and does still intervene
in human lives, that is not the primary way of communicating
with Christians..

Rather , he speaks to us through the " gental whisper " of
his Word, the Holy Bible. But an even more important lesson..
is that God cannot be constrained by human expectations..

God did not reveal himself in the way Elijah expected.
But God did reveal himself in a whisper..

And expecially during times of trail, when we struggle to see God,
we must remember this lesson: The reality of God's presence
doesn't have to be in the dramatic or the miracles..

God speakes to us through his clear and resolute Word,
The Holy Bible...
