in the fire, in the earthquake

in the fire, in the earthquake

in the powerful wind

expecting to find God

in these symbols of power

God is omnipotent

filled with endless power

able to do all things

But God did not show himself

in these primal forces

in these symbols of power

but God was in the still small voice

the whisper in the quiet,

murmuring in the dark

the calling to Elijah.
