Called From the Cave

 


 


Greetings Sisters and Brothers called from the cave…

1 Kings 19: 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

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

13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

Many hymns are inspired by Scripture.

This one, “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind” seems to have been inspired by these words from 1 Kings.

Give the hymn a listen, particularly the last verse.

Be encouraged that whatever may be chasing you into the cave, God is bigger and calls you from the cave.
