Out Of The Whirlwind

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Job 40:6

God didn't answer Job from a peaceful meadow. He didn't come to him by way of a gently bubbling brook. God didn't speak on the wings of a soft spring breeze. Job heard God's answer in the throes of a whirlwind--from the middle of a violent, confusing mass of a storm. Sometimes God speaks to us softly, as He did to Elijah, with a still, small voice. But other times God's voice cannot be heard until we're in the midst of the storm. There are times when we have to be quiet, still the inner voices, to hear Him. And then there are times when He has to scramble and drown out the noise from the world around us so that the only thing we can clearly hear is His answer coming to us from the chaos. The good news is, He WILL always speak to us, always answer us, every time...in His time. When He does, will you be willing to listen?
