God's Power in Quietness
Commentators explain that God deliberately showed Elijah He was not in the spectacular displays of destructive power. This was a lesson for the prophet, who may have been expecting a show of force. The true presence of God was revealed in the quiet that followed, teaching that God's most profound work is often done not through overwhelming might, but through His gentle Spirit.
