The Quiet Where God Speaks

Scripture  1 Kings 19:11–13 (NRSV)The Lord 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.  Then there came a voice to him that said,  “What are you doing here, Elijah?”Refrain  Not in the noise, but in the quiet,  that is where I hear You best.Poem  Emily Dickinson  Silence is all we dread.  There’s ransom in a voice—  But silence is infinity.  Himself have not a face.
