The Lord is a still small voice.

This morning I was reading Daily Bread, it is a daily devotional and the Lord spoke in that still small voice. The Daily Bread reading was about Elijah and his depression after he had defeated the prophets of Baal. We all go through some form of depression in our lives, but those of us who know Christ have that knowledge that Christ is there to lean on, no matter what the circumstances that surround us. In
1 Kings 19:11-12 the Lord speaks to Elijah in that still small voice.
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
We just have to be still and listen and the Lord will speak to our hearts and give us the encouragement we need to lift us out of the depression and help us realize the joy only he can give to us. I encourage you to listen to some of the old hymns like He Touched Me, Victory in Jesus, How Great Thou Art, etc. They offer strength and encouragement for your soul. Only through Christ can we have true joy and victory in our lives. Remember Christ is there to guide and direct our lives, as long as we allow him to be part of that life.
In His Name
