A Quiet Voice

Today I am thinking about all the 'voices' that surround us as women.

That distract us, beckon us and tell us what to do.

They lay burdens on us unnecessarily and cause us to feel guilty.

Telling us that we are not good enough mothers,wives, homemakers, or teachers to our children.

Whispering lies to us as we faithfully try our best day after day.

Christian women need not concern themselves with such bequiling distractions.

But we only need to listen to one quiet voice.

Have you drowned out the other voices today?

And listened for His voice?

"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
