The Still Small Voice

3 Key Quotes

 The title of this blog is taken from 1 Kings 19: 11-13, which describes Elijah’s meeting with God at Mount Horeb (Mount Sinai):  

11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still small voice ( or a gentle whisper). 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

So, God can be spectacular as in the sudden storm, earthquake or fire, but He is even more visible in the smallest of things, a gentle whisper or still small voice.

 
Two famous quotes by Albert Einstein also underlie this blog:

       ·         God does not play dice with the universe

 ·         Science without religion is lame.  Religion without science is blind.
