It’s that little nudge, that whisper in the back of our mind that comes quickly and then fades away. It prompts us to do something, to take something along, to change a detail. And how often, when we follow that little inspiration, we find we are glad we did.
That little voice comes to us often, and it begs to be heard. It can lead us into depth, where the spirit resides. We think of it as having little importance. And that is because we think the Divine Being cares little about our daily lives. We are wrong.
It is the story being carried out yet again, the story of Elijah running from Ahab, and waiting upon God. And the story tells us of all the wondrous, magnificent forces of nature that came while Elijah was sitting in the mountain cave, waiting. And poignantly it says, and God was not in them. The voice, according to the story, came to Elijah in a little whisper, something so soft and quiet that Elijah would have missed it had he not been waiting expectantly.
We need to expect. We need to trust. And we need to listen to the little voice prompting us along. Some of the times it will just be little things of seeming little consequence. But there will be times when we shall be amazed at what transpires. We just need to listen.
