This is one of my favorite texts.  Please note that Baal was the name of the supreme god worshiped in ancient Canaan.

But the Lord was not in the earthquake.

After the earthquake came a fire.

But the Lord was not in the fire.

After the fire came a still, small voice.

When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. (I Kings 19:11-13)

God tells Elijah that what makes Him different from Baal is not that Baal is a power and God is a greater power.  God is not a power at all. He is not in the wind, the earthquake and the fire. When God reveals Himself, it is not as a force but as a voice, the voice that speaks to man.  And not as an ordinary voice, but as a “still, small voice” – the Hebrew literally means, “the sound of a slender silence” – meaning, the voice that we can hear only if we listen.  God does not impose His presence on humanity. Only if we reach out to Him do we find Him reaching out to us.  (Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, A Letter in the Scroll, pg.88)
