Right now, I am watching a series of prayers being answered in an incredibly powerful manner. Though what is happening is literally stunning, it is the kind of thing that we often miss. This answer is unfolding over a period of time, through a series of events, involving decisions and actions by a number of people--no explosion, or bright light from the heavens, or storm ripping up the landscape. Yet when all is said and done--probably not until eternity--the landscape will have been radically changed, and there will be light where there was darkness. (Now that I have raised your curiosity, let me say that I'll give specifics when I can.)
Remember Elijah?
He had fled from the wrath of Jezebel. He was out in the wilderness, desperately in need of a word from God. (1 Kings 19)
There was a wind, an earthquake, and a fire, but Elijah did not hear from the Lord in any of these impressive phenomena. Then there was "a sound of a gentle blowing. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [The voice] came to him and said . . ." (1 Kings 19:12-13)
Could it be we often miss what God is doing because we are awaiting the storm, while the busy-ness of our lives drowns out the "sound of a gentle blowing"?
It's STTA.
