Listening through Chaos

Day 27

When planting a new church, it almost seems like everyone involved – staff, volunteers, and supporters – are all strapped for time because the noise of life only gives way to elevating the chaos. But, God is not a God of chaos; rather, he is the God of order.

Read :: 1 Kings 19:11–13

11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.

13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Pray for people in your life and for those involved in planting CITYPOINT CHURCH to make listening to God’s voice a priority in the midst of daily chaos.
