And as Elijah stood there, the Lord

passed by, and a mighty

windstorm hit the mountain.

It was such a terrible blast that

the rocks were torn loose,

but the Lord was not in the wind.

After the wind there was an earthquake,

but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

And after the earthquake there was a fire,

but the Lord was not in the fire.

And after the fire there was

the sound of a gentle whisper.

1 Kings 19:11-12

“Aren’t you grateful for a gentle God? The Almighty could intimidate us with His outside voice, but He woos us with a whisper. And His whisper is the breath of life.” Mark Batterson
