Mountain top experiences can be exhilarating and inspiring. They set a fire in our souls and we leave the mountain ready to tackle the world. Unfortunately, mountain top experiences don't happen every day and they fade quickly. All of us allow life to take over our every day lives. When life happens we tend to miss out on the little things that God may be doing or saying in our lives. The prophet Elijah was running for his life and found himself on Mt. Horeb. The Lord asked him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" He wasn't where the Lord wanted him to be. The Lord also chose to speak to Elijah in an unexpected way. Apparently, Elijah was used to hearing from God in big, miraculous ways such as the wind, earthquake, and fire. But the Lord wasn't in any of those ways this time. This time He chose to speak to Elijah through a still, small voice.
Instead of waiting for the few mountain top experiences, allow God to speak to you in that still, small voice. Look for God to speak in unexpected ways. Running has always been a spiritual experience for me. Today I ran and the Lord spoke to me about evangelism and the church I lead. Most of us expect God to speak to us early in the morning while everyone else is still asleep or during a worship service or during a conference. These are good place to hear from God but what about the unexpected ways in which he speaks.
If you're really yearning to hear from your heavenly Father, then look for him to speak to you in unexpected ways. Expect him to speak to you in unexpected ways.
What are some of the unexpected ways God has spoken to you?
