Mind The Checks - His is a still, small voice - can hardly be heard. It must be felt. A steady, gentle pressure upon the heart and mind like the touch of a morning zephyr to your face. His voice is for the ear of love, and love is intent upon hearing even faintest whispers. He will in the end make “all things work together"

"And after the earthquake a fire; and after the fire a sound of gentle stillness" — 1 Kings 19:12

A soul, who made rapid progress in her understanding of the Lord, was once asked the secret of her easy advancement. 

She replied tersely, “Mind the checks.” 

And the reason that many of us do not know and better understand Him is, we do not give heed to His gentle checks, His delicate restraints and constraints. 

His is a still, small voice. 

A still voice can hardly be heard. It must be felt. 

A steady, gentle pressure upon the heart and mind like the touch of a morning zephyr to your face. 

A small voice, quietly, almost timidly spoken in your heart, but if heeded growing noiselessly clearer to your inner ear. 

His voice is for the ear of love, and love is intent upon hearing even faintest whispers. 

There comes a time also when love ceases to speak if not responded to, or believed in. 

He is love, and if you would know Him and His voice, give constant ear to His gentle touches. 

In conversation, when about to utter some word, give heed to that gentle voice, mind the check and refrain from speech. 

When about to pursue some course that seems all clear and right and there comes quietly to your spirit a suggestion that has in it the force almost of a conviction, give heed, even if changed plans seem highest folly from standpoint of human wisdom. 

Learn also to wait on God for the unfolding of His will.

Let God form your plans about everything in your mind and heart and then let Him execute them. 

Do not possess any wisdom of your own. 

For many times His execution will seem so contradictory to the plan He gave. 

He will seem to work against Himself. 

Simply listen, obey and trust God even when it seems highest folly so to do. 

He will in the end make “all things work together,” but so many times in the first appearance of the outworking of His plans,

So if you would know His voice, never consider results or possible effects. 

Obey even when He asks you to move in the dark. He Himself will be gloriously light in you. 

And there will spring up rapidly in your heart an acquaintanceship and a fellowship with God which will be overpowering in itself to hold you and Him together, even in severest testings and under most terrible pressures.

Still (Be Still and Know) - Don Moen 

Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God

I will be still
And know You are God

I will be still
And know You are God

Be still and know
That I am God
Be still and know
That I am God
Be still and know
That I am God

I am the God
That healeth thee
I am the God
That healeth thee
I am the God
That healeth thee

God said to us in Isaiah 43
He's called us by name
when we go through the deep water and great trouble
He will be with us
when we go through rivers of difficulty
We will not drawn
When we walk through the fire of oppression
We will not not be burned-up
The flame will not consume us
For He's our Lord, our God,
The only one of Israel
Our Saviour

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God

When the oceans rise
And thunders roar
I Will soar with You
Above the storm
Father You are King
Over the flood
And I will be still
And know You are God
I will be still
And know You are God

I will be still
And know You are God
