Have you ever played the quiet game?  The object of this game is to try and sit with one or more people and not say anything to them – to sit in total silence.  (Playing a video game or reading a book doesn’t count!) It’s hard to go very long.  It’s hard for us to be quiet.  We live noisy lives with lots of activity and distractions going on around us. In today’s Old Testament reading, there was a lot of noise.  God told Elijah to wait on Him.  What happened?  What did it sound like when the Lord passed by?  It’s ok for us to be noisy, but God desires for us to be still at times and listen to Him.  Today we will learn about hearing the Holy Spirit – God’s Counselor!
