Dear Friends,
REFLECTING ON SUNDAY's READING
Elijah was looking for a sign that the Lord was with him.
We see the various environmental signs that he examined, but he found God in the sound of sheer silence, or as in the King James Version, ‘A still small voice.’
We are so busy with the rain and wind and storms of our lives that we fail to take time out to stop and listen for that still small voice. We are so busy doing the gardening that we do not stop to smell the roses. Though we are busy, and so much has to be done, we must take time out. It is good if we can find a few days for a quiet retreat, but that may not be possible.
What is possible is ‘time-out’ – perhaps waking a few minutes early, or just sitting on the verandah contemplating God’s greatness or even remembering to take a few minutes in silence as we enter Church on Sundays.
We need to hear that ‘still small voice’. Let us pray that we may find time for a quiet time in our lives to listen to what God is telling us.
Peace and Grace to you all,
Fr Ron.
