God was not there

Elijah was fully right to expect God in storm, earthquake or in fire.
For ancient cultures, they were Gods, God of power, vengeance, and anger.
On Mt Sinai there were clouds, smoke, and fire when God came down.
But God was merciful, slow to anger, abounding in love.
It is in this nature, we find stillness,
the confidence to walk on the troubled waters, when Jesus calls, 'come.'
We look for God in mighty sings, in fire, cloud, smoke ...
but seldom expect God in tenderness, calmness, and mercy.

History will testify, 
... in super-shows, God was not there.
