Listen in the Silence

Hey, Quest! It's been WAYY too long since I've posted, and I figured that just wouldn't work:)
So I'm involved in a weekly Bible study at my school on Monday mornings before class starts! And last monday we watched a video on youtube..that I can't seem to find right now... on hearing God's voice. If any of you all have heard of it, feel free to post the link on here. But this is basically what it is.
"The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by. Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper."
Okay! So I want to point something out. Elijah stood on that mountain, waiting for the Lord to reveal himself to him. But the Lord was not in the earthquake, or in the fire or the wind. He was in the sheer silence. Sound familiar, guys?
It makes me think about how many 'earthquakes' and 'winds' we have in our life. I know being in highschool and college, we are all surrounded by noise.
When I came home from camp, I became almost immediately frustrated by my inability to hear God's voice in my life. Then school started, and I started getting re-involved in theatre and choir...And yet I still was sort of frustrated with God, because I felt like he wasn't 'speaking' to me. Here's the thing. We are SURROUNDED by noise in our life. How often do we drive in the car without turning on the radio? It's almost nearly impossible to get pure silence. But as we saw with Elijah...God doesn't always reveal himself through the big things in our life..It's all about that quiet time. Listen for that still, small voice. And don't be afraid of what he has to say, because like Haley said in her Trust post above, what he does is ALWAYS for the best:-)
Don't wait for God to reveal himself through the earthquakes and the winds.and the fires. Listen for his gentle whisper.
Love you all! Hope you're doing well
