He had to name and acknowledge his emotions (to quote Benner) before he could practise Presence.<br /><br />But of course, these are just my thoughts on this chapter... you will likely have others!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095111058783870082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942543204523623965.post-77793004873244899652012-05-02T15:10:30.215+02:002012-05-02T15:10:30.215+02:00Wasn't it perhaps when Elijah became still tha...Wasn't it perhaps when Elijah became still that he noticed God passing?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389059427374453817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942543204523623965.post-91446778458333265762012-05-02T14:47:52.759+02:002012-05-02T14:47:52.759+02:00You are always curious!

I think He's very involved and always working behind the scenes (or in front) even when things don't make sense. That doesn't mean I don't wonder what He's up to, sometimes!<br /><br />If you want to approach it from a more pantheistic positioning, I might ask the same questions, adding only one more: Was it possible that God was trying to teach Elijah something? Refine him in some way?<br /><br />I am curious to know what you think!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095111058783870082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942543204523623965.post-8212908168764594032012-05-02T14:28:22.410+02:002012-05-02T14:28:22.410+02:00I am curious about how moving from an external God...I am curious about how moving from an external God "out there" to a more panentheistic positioning might change the questions...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389059427374453817noreply@blogger.com
