SEARCH AND LISTEN
After
the earthquake, there was fire — but the Lord was not in the fire;
after the fire, there was a tiny whispering sound. – 1 Kings 19:12
Hubert was going through a difficult time. He was in desperate need for
a job. One Sunday afternoon, he tuned in to a radio program that
announced job opportunities. He had planned to take notes but fell
asleep soon after. He woke up listening to a Catholic radio program
where I serve as a co-anchor.
Our program airs testimonies of people who met God and now have a
relationship with Him. Hubert began to listen to our program every
Sunday afternoon. Then He came to one of our prayer meetings and has
since been a regular attendee. Things in his life started to fall into
place after he started a relationship with Jesus.
Hubert’s story reminds us that God does not always come in big, grand
ways. Elijah didn’t find God in the fearsome fire and earthquake but in a
“tiny whispering.” Hubert did not meet God in a big worship concert or
through a powerful preacher. He accidentally listened to a radio program
as he was searching for a solution to his personal problems. Finding
God became the starting point in solving his problems. Alvin Fabella (alvinfabella@yahoo.com)
Reflection:
Do you have a personal relationship with God? Search for Him in the
simple things and realize how big His love for you is.
Lord, make me sensitive to the nuances of Your movement in my life.
Blessed Joachima, pray for us.
