ELIJAH

This guy blows my mind, but embodies the very spirit of God's truth and ways. The most intoxicating moment for me in Elijah's story is the following, found in 1 Kings 19:
 
After 3 years alone with God in the desert, he takes on and slays 900 priests of Baal. Word is sent to their patroness, Jezebel, who decrees that she will kill Elijah for this, within one day. Elijah fears and flees to a mountain cave. Note the drama and the spiritual forces at work here: Elijah kills 900, is threatened by 1, and runs.
 
But here is where we see and feel the very connection of man with God. After 40 days of running, Elijah is alone inside a cave. God tells Elijah to step out of the cave to meet with Him. Elijah waits for the signal. Such a forceful wind blows that it 'tore the mountains apart, and shattered rocks.' But we are told the Lord was not in this wind. Then an earthquake, then a fire. But the Lord was not in the earthquake, nor the fire. Then a 'gentle whisper'. The Lord was in the whisper, and Elijah steps out of the cave to meet the Lord.
 
This man knew God's voice, and was not even distracted by earthquakes and shattering rocks. Do you know God's voice? (John 10:27)
