"And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind.... but the Lord was not in the earthquake.... but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.... And behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?" (1 Kings 19:11-13). "Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors" (Proverbs 8:34).
Lord, You shouldn't have to shout
To get my singular attention;
Elijah figured that one out
In the cave of his detention.
For there you sent a mighty breeze,
An earthquake, and a fire.
But, Lord, You were in none of these;
A voice was Your desire.
That still, small voice, Elijah heard,
Was where the Lord was found.
And so may we, who have God's Word,
Thus hear our Lord expound.
