He hears us in our prayers and meditations. What does it take for blessed assurance that God hears us and loves us with an everlasting Love. Will it take a whirlwind of fire as in the days of Elisha. Or can we hear His still small voice amongst the voices of people. God will meet you where you are.
What doest thou here, Elijah?
God asks this question today of us who grow weary in well doing. He does not always answer in the whirlwind. But is the still small voice a lesser miracle. Because God sometimes chooses the foolish things to confound the wise. Remember even the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than Elijah who received a greater anointing than his mentor. Our King is Jesus who says this in Luke 7:28.
Many of us are here in the cave because in our hopelessness we have played with the fire of our enemy the Devil who was known as Satan and goes by many other names. Pro 6:28, Psa 139:8 But God will meet you where you are. He doesn't want that any human would perish in their sins. His mercy and loving kindness endures forever. Don't refuse Our Lord Jesus when He ask you, What are you doing here?
Some others are in the cave because of service to our King. And even others are there because of a mixture of both. But God will meet you where you are. Our enemy wants to kill us spiritually and physically but his motives are to take as many people to Hell with him as he can. Jesus Calls us out of the cave of the cares of this world. And for this reason there is work to be done. And Jesus wants you. Weak tired or broken it does not matter. Jesus is on the potter's wheel prepared to make us over again.
Jeremiah 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
So we submit to God making us new again. But others want to remind you of your faults and short comings. Your past failures or your current ones that you have repented for. What should you do? Remember the still small voice that drew you out of your cave of sin. And know that He loves and does not remind us of the past or any current weakness unless it needs to be dealt with. Otherwise you should reject all voices that heap on condemnation. Our medicine is God's companionship.
Humanism is relying on others to be your god for you. And Jesus will allow anyone who wants to to stay in the cave and wait for a replacement. But the counterfeit is not the original.
We all need to talk to God and His people. But what if His people don't want to talk to you? They just want a to fellowship with God but not His people. Or you don't fit into someone else's idea of a good enough Christian to fellowship with. Remember He will meet you where you are. Jesus accepts the rejected in the Beloved. Jesus says in Matthew 19:29
Matthew 19:29 KJV
(29) And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Remember He will meet with you. So ask Him.
