The phrase "still, small voice" comes from the King James Version's rendering of the "sheer silence" in the Elijah story, an interpretation that isn't the best translation of the Hebrew but that does represent well the nature of God's communication with us. The sovereign King of the universe, to our surprise, does not often trumpet his message to his subjects. God's volume knob is rarely turned all the way to the right; his voice in our ears is subtle, restrained, even easy to miss.
-Adam S. McHugh, The Listening Life
