What Happens When You Stand Where God Wants You?

1 Kings 19:11-12 - So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing. NASU 
  • You Will See God 
Now wait a minute Serago the Bible says, "No man can see God and live." What God said was Moses was not able to see His face and live, but if you recall He allowed Moses to see His back but not His face. (Exo. 33:20-23)
 
God had Elijah go and stand on the mountain. The Lord passed by Elijah. Elijah saw a strong wind, earthquake, and a fire, but the Lord was not in any of them.
 
Where does the Lord have you standing right now?
 
Is the Lord trying to get your attention as He was with Elijah?
 
In our world today we know that strong winds, earthquakes and fire all bring about destruction. God wasn't in the destruction. God was in the peaceful and refreshing gentle blowing. God wanted Elijah to really know Him.
 
Could God have been in the strong wind, earthquake, or fire?  Yes, He could have been in them. He was behind the wind at the time of the Israelite's Exodus from Egypt and He was in the fire that burned up Elijah's sacrifice. God wants all of us to see Him.
 
He wants us to be His helpers. Elijah was helping the Israelites to be free from the false prophets and the lies they were expressing about God. 
  • How To Really See God 
God wants us to know Him that is why He has seen to it that we have copies of His written word. If you want to know God then read His Word aka the Bible.
 
You will be able to stand where God wants you to stand when you know more about Him. The best way to really get to know God is by learning about Him through reading the Bible.
 
God may have you standing right now in the fiery trial and tribulations like He did Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. They were being tried because they would not worship anyone or thing. They would only worship the Almighty God, Maker and Creator of Heaven and Earth.
 
You may be standing in some fiery trial in order to help your faith become stronger. If God has you standing in a trial then you need to know that He is watching over you and it is your faith in Him that will get you through it.
 
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a Heavenly GPS installed at our baptism and every time we got off course we could hear this voice tell us to make a U-Turn as soon as it is legally possible?
​

Has God been telling you to make a U-Turn or stay the course you are doing great?
 
God gave Elijah some work to do. He had to go and anoint three men. What is it that God wants you to do?  Do you know some people that need to be anointed by the Lord today?
 
The best way to forget about your own struggles is to get busy serving other people and that is exactly what God had Elijah do. 
  • When You Stand Where God Wants You 
He will use you to accomplish His will and you will never have a greater feeling in your life.
 
Think On This:
 
The person who is all wrapped up in himself is overdressed.
