Who's side are you on?

Monday June 25th, 1 Kings 19: 11-12 Then he was told, "Go, stand on the mountain at attention before God. God will pass by." A hurricane wind ripped through the mountains and shattered the rocks before God, but God wasn't to be found in the wind; after the wind an earthquake, but God wasn't in the earthquake; and after the earthquake fire, but God wasn't in the fire; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper. Again with the narcissistic theology, we want a BIG god on our side, one that is powerful, mighty, awesome and when it is our desire, mean. Those views of god are all about me. When we turn from self-interests to God-interests, we begin to understand that God comes in a still small voice and quiet whisper. Then we have to stop talking and start listening. Then we begin to understand that it is not about god being on our side, it is about us being on God’s side.
