These are the Days of Elijah

1 Kings chapters 18 and 19 have just spoken volumes to me about...well God's faithfulness.

From God's power being revealed by the sarcastic and confident Prophet....

From the decision to flee when things got rough....

From the voice of God only being heard in the stillness of life....

From Elijah's false belief that he was the only one left of God's faithful....

In all these things, lessons can be learned in my life and yours. Elijah, a man who saw God's power in ways we can't even begin to fathom - but in ways that we rarely fathom - though God is still the same God, was able to hit the full spectrum of "human" emotions...and still be used by God in his doubts, fears, and lack of understanding. We don't always see it, just like Elijah, but as God pointed out in chapter 19...we're not in it alone. God is being followed. And we are being supported...we must never forget that God is bigger than our perspective. His is the only perspective that matters anyways! :D Thank you Lord for reminding me about Elijah!
