1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
I love the fact that when God passed by Elijah, there was a great wind that came and tore into the mountains, breaking the rocks into pieces, simply by His presence! God is so awesome and powerful.
But at the same time, I love the fact that He speaks to us in a still, small voice. A voice that requires us to have faith, to be still and listen for Him.
If God moved with mighty winds and crashing thunder all the time it would require no faith or effort on our part. Our walk with Him would require nothing more than us looking for the next big crash and then knowing that God was there.
But because He chooses to speak to us quietly, it requires us to pay attention to Him and make a conscious choice to want to hear Him.
Yes, it might seem harder that way, but anything that’s really worth having takes a bit of effort on our part.
