1 Kings 19:11-12

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; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19:11-12

Shortly after Elijah called down fire from heaven at Mount Carmel, we find him depressed in a cave. It was here the Lord spoke to Elijah. We see in these verses the Lord sent three mighty phenomenons before Elijah. Rather than speaking through these mighty acts, the Lord chose to speak to Elijah through a still, small voice.

Oftentimes in our lives we look for supernatural signs when we are trying to hear from the Lord. However, God most often speaks to us in a still, small voice. The problem is not that God does not want to guide and direct us; rather it is that we are not listening. The best way for us to stay in tune with His still, small voice is to daily be in His word and in constant prayer. We need to stop looking for the big signs and start looking to Him.

For the King,
