This came out of some not very happy or hopeful thinking. I was just thinking that God tends to be silent a lot. Not always, but a lot. No April, you’re not missing any deep nugget of hope.

God tells him that he's going to pass by the cave, and then proceeds to send a mighty wind, an earthquake, a fire, and then a "sheer silence." Elijah rightly perceived God was the "sheer silence." Sometimes God speaks through silence--sometimes through fire like at Mt. Carmel defeating the prophets of Baal. The key is recognizing the difference. Good conversation today.
