Answer: 

God was speaking to Elijah in a still small voice...where does this come from _____________?

__:__And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

*Have you ever heard the saying, “God moves in mysterious ways”? Well, at mount Horeb where Elijah was at when this incident occurred, God displayed his power in a great wind, earthquake, and fire. The Bible says that the Lord was not in any of these; but the Lord rather chose to speak to Elijah in a still small voice. Sometimes God moves in ways that we don't really think of and many of God's plans are long range plans. The work of a ministry started by one person may never show any real progress on the surface during that person's life span. That ministry might be passed through several hands or generations before any fruit is seen coming from that ministry. However, it does not necessarily mean that God is not working in that ministry using the people in it to accomplish His purpose. We need to learn the same kind of a lesson that Elijah learned: God also uses little things to accomplish His purposes and God often moves in a quiet way.

Answer: Obadiah 3

What prophetic book does this come from? ________________

____The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

*How many people go around saying in their heart: “Pride is bad, but it can't be all that bad can it?”. Pride makes very little impression on us today, because we have lost our sense of the proportion of pride. Most people today think of pride as just a polite little sin. Pride is the sin of sins so don't be deceived. Pride of heart is deeper and darker than any other sin that you can mention. A lot of people don't condemn it, but God does! God says He resists the proud, but He is always on the side of the humble, see Proverbs 8:13. Pride was the sin of Satan. He said, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God...I will be like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:13,14). The reason why God hates pride so much is because it stops people from coming to Him for salvation that we all desperately need and only He (Jesus) can provide! When you see a little person getting to the place where they say, “I don't need God”, God says, “That's what I hate.”.
