As I tilted the coffee pot, a gentle stream of steam curled upward, escaping from the spout like a delicate whisper. The soft swishing sound of the rich liquid filling my cup echoed in the quiet kitchen, evoking memories of countless mornings spent in sacred solitude with God. That singular, familiar sound transported me back to cherished moments, each brimming with warmth and reflection. It’s remarkable how something as simple as the pour of coffee can stir a flowing river of deep thoughts and feelings within us.

Elihu said, “Wait for me a moment, and I will show you that there is much more to be said on behalf of God. I will draw my knowledge from afar, and I will affirm the righteousness of my Creator.” (Job 36:1-2)

There is much more to explore beyond the surface – not simply from any individual, but from the very Creator of the Universe. This divine presence not only communicates with us but also attentively listens to our thoughts, our prayers, and our burdens. It is an extraordinary gift to acknowledge that the Lord desires to dwell among us, to engage in our lives actively, and to have His presence manifest within us. This sacred relationship invites us to open our hearts, allowing His spirit to take a central role in our existence as He seeks to guide, uplift, and inspire us every step of the way.

Set aside some moments today to immerse yourself in the quiet around you. Find a peaceful spot to gather your thoughts and truly listen for what He needs to say and has in store for you. Allow yourself to be open to God’s auditory whispers, “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 KJV

Feel free to forward it to anyone you wish.  My mission is to encourage everyone to follow our Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. ©Darlene J.
