He
said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is
about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was
splitting mountains and breaking 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 sound of sheer silence.
When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and
stood at the entrance of the cave. 1 Kings 19:11-13a NSRV
God is patient & waits for us to hear the utter silence of Himself before we can rest in Him & receive from Him.
