When we are born we are very close, I imagine babies and the very young commune with God continually, but as we get older and we become more involved with the "world" we slip away from God and into the worldly things of this life.
If we could just be still, turn of the noise of this life, worries, strife, all to do about nothing, we could hear the whisper of the voice of God.
We've been away and in this world so long, it's tough to shut off.
Kevin and others have been blessed to stay where they are and continue communing with our Lord.
1 KINGS 19:11
The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord , for the Lord is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord , but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
