Elijah hid in a cave, fleeing for his life. The Lord had promised to be with him, so he waited for God in the cave. A powerful wind, an earthquake, and a great fire all passed by the mouth of the cave but Elijah knew God was not in those great events. Then, he heard a "still, small voice" and he stepped out to meet his Lord (1 Kings 19:1-11).
A desire for God.
How did Elijah know God was not in the powerful acts of nature? Elijah loved God so much that he knew him well. He knew that God's greatest power is in the truth of his Word.
A search for peace.
Elijah was in trouble because he had stood up for God's truth. He defeated the prophets of Baal, who were turning people against God. Although a great victory, it earned him powerful enemies. So he turned to God. When our world is falling apart, we can always find peace in the protection of our beloved God.
