i saw the sign...


Stop. 
Be still and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 

Look.
 The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.  Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.  There is no speech; there are no words where their voice is not heard.  Their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.  Psalm 19:1-4

When I observe Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place, what is man that You remember him, the son of man that You should care for him? Psalm 8:3-4 

Listen.  
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”  He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Hosts, but the Israelites have abandoned Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword.  I alone am left, and they are looking for me to take my life.”  Then the Lord said, “Go and stand on the mountain in the Lord’s presence.” 

At that moment, the Lord passed by. 

A great and mighty wind was tearing at the mountains and was shattering cliffs before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.  After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.  And after the fire there was a voice, a soft whisper.  When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out…1 Kings 19:9-13

Stop.
 Be still and know that He is God…

He makes known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. 
His purpose will stand… Isaiah 46:10
