You Don't Hear From God When You're Emotional Upset

Are you sure he isn't speaking?



1 Kings 19:12 (KJV)

"And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."



God speaks softly and is often hard to hear especially with the turmoil of our lives.





Jonah 1: 3(b)

"...he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord."



Sometimes I find that God is speaking and I just don't like what hear and run away.



Genisis 3:8

"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden."



Sometime we fear what the Lord is going to tell us so we hide.







So even those in the Bible at times had a difficult time hearing God speak either because of fear, distraction, or not liking what he has to say. Not hearing God in times of trouble? Join the same group of Elijah, Jonah, and many other great prophets in the Bible who were in emotional turmoil while God was trying speaking.



Its not that He's not there... but as shown above, even those in the Bible had their reasons for not hearing God at times.
