Day 31: Hello Holy Spirit
Stillness and His Voice
Scripture:
“After the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” — 1 Kings 19:12 (NKJV)
Promise:
In the quiet moments, the Spirit will speak—and His voice will become clearer as you slow down, surrender distractions, and give Him your attention.
Quote:
“Hello Holy Spirit, I quiet my soul so I can hear Your whisper above the world’s noise.” — Dr. Daniel LeBlanc
“Today, God is still speaking to you in the whisper of the Holy Spirit. If you live a life too rushed, too distracted, too busy, you’ll never move slowly enough or be quiet enough to hear his gentle leading.” — David Diga Hernandez
Devotion:
Elijah stood on the mountain, experienced wind, earthquake, fire—and what followed was not a dramatic show but a whisper. That’s how God often speaks. The Spirit does not always shout. Sometimes He waits for stillness, for hearts that are willing to slow, to listen.
When life is full of noise—social media scrolling, alarms, busy schedules, constant tasks—our ability to hear Him fades. We miss the whisper. We confuse His voice with our own desires or the shouting of the world. But the Spirit’s communication is gentle, precise, and always aligns with truth.
David Diga Hernandez warns us: “God is still speaking to you in the whisper of the Holy Spirit. If you live a life too rushed… you’ll never be quiet enough to hear His gentle leading.” This is not condemnation—it is invitation. Invitation to slow your pace. Invitation to embrace silence. Invitation to say, “Hello Holy Spirit, I am listening.”
Stillness doesn’t mean stopping everything; it means centering everything on Him. It means giving Him space in your heart to speak. Whether in early morning hush, midday break, or evening calm, the whisper is there. The Holy Spirit is not defeated by your busyness—He’s waiting for you to yield, to quiet, to turn your attention to Him.
Application:
Begin your day in silence: say, “Hello Holy Spirit, I yield this morning to hear Your voice.”
Carve out pockets of stillness during the day—turn off noise, put down devices, close your eyes, listen.
Pause when decisions arise and say, “Holy Spirit, what is Your whisper?”
Keep a journal to note impressions, impressions that arise in quiet, and test them by the Word.
When the world pulls you into hurry, stop, breathe, and say, “Hello Holy Spirit, I choose deafness to the noise, attentiveness to You.”
Declaration:
Hello Holy Spirit—I choose stillness today. I will listen for Your whisper above the noise. Your voice will guide me, comfort me, and lead me in truth.
Prayer:
Hello Holy Spirit, I confess I’ve often been too busy to hear You. I choose to turn from hurry and distraction. I open my heart in stillness, asking You to speak gently into my soul. Thank You that Your whisper is enough. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
