Whisper in the Wind

     One of my biggest time wasters lately has been playing crossword puzzles on my phone. If I cannot go to sleep  I play and play until I'm too tire to hold up my phone or the phone falls on my head. As I am going through the list of about 30 different words looking for them in every direction I find one I was looking for. Then I'll find myself stuck on one and cannot find it worth anything. Of course with time being of the essence (to beat my last time), I have to quickly find these words! So I'm searching backward, forward, sideways, and finally.....right there in front of me all the time is the word I've been looking for! There's that twinge of "how didn't see that?", but then there's the joy of knowing  I did find it.
    How many times has God told me something only for me to keep on looking and looking in other places and it's sitting right in front of me. It's like he told Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Elijah was running and the Spirit of God was leading him. Jezebel wanted Elijah dead, and didn't want it any other way. In verse 11 God says to Elijah "Go, stand on the mountan at attention before God. God will pass by." 12 : and after the earthquake fire, but God wasn't in the fre; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper."
    How many times in our lives do we want the BIG, the Easy, the Loud exciting things in life that we overlook the mundane things that might do more for God's glory than that BIG thing? Look at David, he was just a shepherd boy, but God chose him to be KING. A little shepherd boy?! Jesus was to come from the town of Bethlehem in a stable; raised in Nazareth to which someone replied "can anythng good come from Nazareth?"
      Are you feeling down today, like no one cares, like what  you're doing isn't enough? Let me assure you that if you are striving to serve the Lord whether you are the Shepherd or the King you will be rewarded in Heaven. Just remember with great privelege comes great responsibility!
 God, father in Heaven, thank you for choosing me to be your Child even when  I haven't always wanted to serve you you still saw the righteousness of your son's blood covering my heart! I need you father, speak to me, whisper in my ear your sayings and your words of wisdom that I might grow in you!
