And He said, Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord. And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake;

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of gentle stillness and a still, small voice.

When Elijah heard the voice, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, there came a voice to him and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
-1 Kings 19:11-13

I'm going to start paying attention to the small things more often. I shouldn't be waiting for God to just smack me in the face with something huge. He may come to me in a small breeze, and alot of the time I think I don't even notice it because I'm waiting for something huge. But really, He was wanting me to pay attention to the breeze all along, not the huge gust of wind.
