Elijah was a prophet of God. He stood for God in the face of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. You can see this story play out in 1 Kings 17-19. Here is a brief out line of the story:
I Kings 17:1-6: Elijah pronounces a drought to King Ahab.
1 Kings 17: 7-24: Elijah and the Widow at Zerephath.
1 Kings 18: Elijah Confronts the Prophets of Baal.
1 Kings 19:1-2: Jezebel threatens Elijah
1 Kings 19: 3-9: Elijah flees for his life.
1 Kings 19: 10-18: Elijah hears from God.
This is such a great story. You should take time this week to read these passages with your family. Elijah in this story was on a rollercoaster ride with all of these up's and down's. Remember that Psalm 23 reminds us that whether we are in the Hills or the Valley's that God is with us. Don't ever forget that God is with you.
The God Who Stays
This is such a great song. Remember that no matter what we have done that God is a God who stays with us. He doesn't leave us when everyone else does. What a great reminder for us today.
The Roller Coaster Ride
Life can feel like a roller coaster ride sometimes. Elijah lived through some up and downs.
