Life Lessons are often learned in the struggles. People can see Christ in our up and down lives. Such was the truth for the times of Elijah.
His name alone means, “My God is Yahweh.” He challenged Israel against worshipping false gods. "The Lord alone is God."
Elijah was not perfect. Even after a great miracle on Mount Carmel, he became fearful and discouraged. Think human nature.
A man just like us.
Our lives should be congruent with the truth of God's word.
Morals seen in Elijah's own life by those he served, taught obedience even in the hard times, to practice truth with courage, in the midst of fear and overwhelming circumstances.
Trust God's provision and pray with persistence.
Not perfect but faithful.
..Elijah prayed, “O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that You, O Lord, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again.”
(1 Kings 18:21, 36-37)
In life, with all it's struggles, our actions should be in agreement/harmony with the entirety of Scripture.
Think congruity!
