"And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire [a sound of gentle stillness and] a still, small voice." 1 Kings 19:12 (AMP)
A whisper is something conveyed in a very intimate setting, it is so faint that if you are not in tuned with it you could miss it altogether. People have a tendency to whisper when they only want to target a specific audience, someone they trust with information that they don't want anyone else to know.
When the prophet Elijah found himself in this situation, he was fleeing a queen and king who sought to persecute him. He was afraid and disillusioned with how things in his life were going and suddenly he is exposed to a different side of God he desperately needed, yet it was presented to him in a totally unexpected way. It was a whisper in the midst of chaos and it was in this whisper that he received His word and this word would propel him into his destiny.
What's going on in your life today? Are there obstacles in life that are in your way and you don't know how to handle them? Take a page out of the life of Elijah who had to re calibrate what he was listening to in order to pick up what God was whispering to Him. Spend time finding out what God is whispering to you (through prayer, his word, or through others), it's going to change the course your life.
