The still small voice (1 Kings 19) is not a model for seeking God through hints and whispers

People use the still small voice (Elijah at Horeb, 1 Kings 19) to support a practice of straining to hear God's faint hints. Mike rejects this application: that passage does not establish a pattern of God whispering hints for us to decipher. His personal principle: 'If God wants to speak to me, he can make it very clear — I am too scared of making stuff up and calling it the Lord.' He encourages others to hold the same standard rather than looking for riddles and whispers.
