Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Elijah: Prophet of Courage1 Kings 19:9-15
New International Version9 There, he went into a cave and spent the night. The Lord Appears to ElijahAnd the word of the Lord came to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” 11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” 15 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. For ReflectionElijah felt unmatched to the task and was filled with self-loathing and remorse. God came to Elijah and asked Elijah to face his fear. Elija obeyed and withstood the earthquake, wind, and fire.
The Lord spoke in a whisper, now get back to work. PrayPray and feel the power of the lord. Pray, wipe away your fears, and get back to the work of the Kingdom of God.
