Elijah and the Still Small Voice
Elijah was tired and afraid, hiding in a cave. A great wind tore the mountain, but God was not in the wind. Then an earthquake, but God was not in the earthquake. Then a fire, but God was not in the fire. After the fire came a still small voice — and Elijah knew it was God.
Key verse
And 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 (KJV)
What it teaches
God is often quiet. We can be still and listen.
