When starting a new endeavor or journey—in my case, biblical counseling and a stronger pursuit of writing—it’s normal to wrestle with fear, doubt, and apprehension. It’s scary to put yourself out there and chase dreams. The exposure and vulnerability can feel so overwhelming at times. You open yourself to the judgment of others—friends, family, even strangers—and you wonder where the road will lead and whether you’ll truly succeed.
This brings me to 1 Kings 19:11-12. The message of this story is that God doesn’t always reveal Himself through mighty displays of power, but often through gentle displays of His presence—in the quiet whispers of His voice. For me, that still small voice often speaks words like: Keep going, keep building, don’t give up. You may not always see dramatic changes or big wins, but with prayer and attentiveness, you’ll discover steady growth—and you’ll hear the quiet encouragement of God’s voice cheering you on.
I hope this message will be a source of inspiration for others who may be struggling with the confidence to pursue their own dreams and aspirations. God is near, speaking quietly, and faithfully guiding you forward. Just pay attention.
“Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” I Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV)
