Back on the first Sunday of December (the first Advent Sunday) I posted a guest post called Do You Hear What I Hear?
For me it was the message that God seemed to be continually whispering to me, as the Christmas season was approaching, as the chaos of the festivities kept getting louder and louder, as the focus I so desired kept getting drowned out. It was the message to “listen for the still small voice.”
Really the still small voice is barely more than a breath …
It is the breath of Genesis 2:7, “and the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
It is the breath of Ezekiel 37:6, “I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
It is the breath of John 20:21-22 , “again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
And,
in the still of the night,
in a simple place for animals,
not an earthquake,
not a rushing wind
… not even a fire,
but through the still small voice of a baby
taking His first breath
still,
an act of God.
