The Noise & The Voice
(1 Kings 17:1, 19:11-12)
Noise is all around me,
sounds and lights, digital and real,
distracting mind and heart
with the banality of life.
Where is the Voice?
Does He still speak
even in the midst of chaos?
Speak, holy still small voice!
Enable me to hear.
Turn me from the cacophony
to the silence of your desert.
The Voice still speaks!
For you are the God
before whom I stand.
I wrote this after reading the story of Elijah in 1st Kings. I was struck by his phrase 'the LORD before whom I stand.'
