Today’s Bar Breakdown comes from the melodic, soulful, and R&B-inspired track, “Most High” by up-and-coming artist, Tds Cam.
“Swimming in your glory, yeah drown me in your river, voice I keep on hearing, ‘don’t give up’ it come in whispers.”
While it’s a relatively simple sentence, there is much greater meaning deep at its core.
There is only place place in scripture where God is said to speak in a “still small voice,” and it was to Elijah after his victory over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:20-40; 19:12); to which Elijah would be forced to flee to Horeb (Mt. Sinai) after Jezebel announced she would seek to kill him.
In a cave, Elijah voices his complaints that all of God’s prophets had been killed by Jezebel and he was the sole survivor. God then instructed Elijah to stand on the mountain in His presence. Then the Lord sent a mighty wind which shattered the rocks to pieces; then sent an earthquake and a fire, but His voice was in none of them. After the event, the Lord spoke to Elijah in a still, small voice, or “gentle whisper.”
The point of it all was to show Elijah that God’s work isn’t always dramatic or extravagent. God also works in the deafening silence in our lives; where we think he may not be with us but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
As summarized in Zechariah 4:6, God’s work is “not by might nor power, but by My Spirit.”
God is always at work, even when we can’t see him!
