This week, Sharon takes a look at Elijah, one of the great prophets. Even prophets get discouraged. Elijah did. So we should not be surprised when it happens to us. Discouragement often follows a great victory like it did with Elijah when he defeated the prophets of Baal. It’s ok to get discouraged, but God does not want us to stay there. He sticks closer than a brother and He will come to us and feed us and take care of us when we are at our lowest. He is such a loving Father, and such a faithful Father. He wants to spend quiet time with us when our focus rests solely on Him. He often talks to us in a tender whisper and cares for us in the most gentle way. We are each called to serve Him as His children so after He cares for us and gives us what we need, He sends us back to work.
The Lord came to Elijah and sent him to the mouth of the cave, where the presence of the Lord spoke not in the wind, or the fire, or the earthquake, but in a quiet whisper. When we seek Him with all of our hearts, we will always find Him and sometimes it is in ways we do not expect.
May Elijah’s story encourage each of us with new resolve that we are never alone. We have God and we have our brothers and sisters who are serving and struggling just as we are. We should always strive to encourage one another as we all look to our Heavenly Father, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
May God bless your new year with victories for Him, faith in His care and provision, and may you always find grace in the wilderness.
