While God has often manifested Himself in great displays of power, He also reveals Himself in quiet stillness.
Elijah immediately recognizes His presence on Horeb in the quiet after tumultuous displays of nature's force.
In the midst of a raging storm, the disciples see Jesus, and are frightened by His presence as He walks on water, which is so beyond human experience. But then they embrace the reality of Him there when He reaches out to them. And St. Peter even is so bold as to respond with a request to have share in that extra-human power to walk on water.
Let us reach out to the Savior Who has arisen from the covenants and promises of old, so that we may know God's presence.
Let us embrace the presence of God even in the midst of the world being stirred around us: Even in storms or difficulties, He still comes to make God known in a gentle, touching way, reassuring us of how He is always with us, especially when we reach out.
