The Whisper of God

I like Sunday's First Reading today, from Elijah on Mount Horeb. The Prophet Elijah waits for the Lord on Mount Horeb.

There was a great wind, but the wind was not the Lord.

There was a terrible earthquake, but it was not the Lord.

Then there was fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.

Finally there was a tiny, whispering sound, and Elijah went and stood at the entrance of the cave.

All that power and might came from the whisper of God. It's one of the most powerful images in Scripture, I believe.
