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. 1 Kings 19: 11-12.
We have all been afraid and behind that fear many of us hide. Difficult situations happen in our lives that we think that there is no solution, that there is no way out and we hide as one of the great prophets of the times did, Elijah. Fear of being killed; fear … that to such an extreme no matter what we hear we do not want to leave the cave. But, at what point was he able to hear and feel peace to leave the cave? His mind was quiet.
Our mind and our spiritual being work together; therefore, it is important that our mind is in a normal condition. A relaxed mind is a mind that you can hear beyond the usual. In silence we can feel peace and we can be in harmony with the universe. Then, we can listen to what our spirit needs to say to our mind. Therefore, our mind needs to be free and available so that we can hear the little voice within us. As our mind is overloaded, we feel overwhelmed and confused filling our minds with wrong thoughts. It is important to take our mind to another level. What is that level?
For example, if there is a full, noisy room and two people are trying to communicate or tell you a secret, will that person be able to listen? There will be so many things happening that it is very difficult to listen carefully to what the other person is saying. Hence, it is what happens when our inner being tries to communicate with our mind. Therefore, it is important that our mind is in a normal state or is a mind at peace. A mind that is at rest and alerts will take us to the next level. The next level is allowing us to hear what the inner voice wants to tell us. It is time, that you hear in the gentle whistle, the voice of God, who tells you to come out of your cave and trust Him fully.
Prayer: Open your heart
Lord Jesus, I am in front of your presence asking you for forgiveness if with the desire of my life I have not have attention to what you want to tell me. Today, I want to get out of the cave and listen to the gentle voice in my life. I ask this in your name, Jesus, Amen.
Friendly advice
My dear friends, it is time to stop and make time for you. The eagerness of life overwhelms us. Erroneous and unclear thoughts come to our mind that we cannot execute what we have to do. It is time to relax, meditate, seek help, and talk to someone.
