Elijah – Listening for God’s Voice
Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-13
Elijah stood on Mount Horeb, weary and afraid. After facing kings, prophets, and the pressures of ministry, he felt alone and depleted. Yet even in that isolation, God was present.
The Lord was not in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the still small voice (1 Kings 19:12). That moment teaches every Christian leader something vital: strength is found not in the noise of achievement but in the quiet of communion.
Leadership today is often measured by visibility and success, but Elijah’s encounter reminds us that divine direction comes from stillness. Before you move, lead, or speak—pause. Listen. The same God who guided Elijah through exhaustion to renewed purpose still whispers to His servants today.
Reflection Questions

- What practical step can you take to slow down and listen this week?
- How does silence become a form of spiritual strength for leaders?
