In certain Hollywood movies, such as Oh, God! and Bruce Almighty, the writers had God appear as a human, but it was not in some mighty, majestic display like you might expect. It was rather in the unassuming forms of George Burns and Morgan Freeman, respectively. While these movies may not be looked upon as theologically solid, nor are they meant to be, they do make one interesting point about God: He doesn't always appear in ways we would expect.
For Elijah, God didn't appear to him in an earthquake or fire or whirlwind, as we might think he would. Instead, he came in an unassuming, quiet whisper. God bucked our expectations and came in when we weren't looking. For the ultimate example of this, we only need look to Jesus, who "had no form or majesty that we should look at him" (Isaiah 53:2).
