Elijah and a Still Small Voice
Sometimes we look for God in the drama—the thunder, the fire, the breaking news, the big miracles. But in 1 Kings 19:10–12, Elijah discovers that the presence of God is not always loud or obvious. It comes as a whisper, a breath, a quiet presence that meets us when we’re exhausted and afraid.
This Sunday at Shiloh, we’ll reflect on what it means to be still in a noisy world, to recognize God’s nearness in the silence, and to find strength in the calm that follows the storm. Come ready to rest, to listen, and to remember: sometimes the greatest revelation comes when the noise finally dies down.
