Watch Out, Tone Down, And Listen Up
1 Kings 19:5 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel
touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.”
1 Kings 19:6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals,
and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.
1 Kings 19:7 And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched
him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
1 Kings 19:8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that
food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.
1 Kings 19:9 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place;
and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are
you doing here, Elijah?”
1 Kings 19:10 So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts;
for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and
killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
1 Kings 19:11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.”
And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the
mountains and broke the rocks in pieces 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;
1 Kings 19:12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire;
and after the fire a still small voice.
