“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

 

Do you notice how sometimes faith and circumstances seem to do battle in our minds? We believe what God said in His Word and we believe in what God speaks to our hearts, but sometimes the “facts” of live test our faith. We read in 1 Kings of the showdown between Elijah and the false prophets. At the end of the day, Elijah predicted to the king of Israel (Ahab), “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain” (1 Kings 18:41). This was a bold prophecy since it had not rained in Israel for over 2 years. After saying this, Elijah went to the top of the mountain, bowed to the ground and prayed. Then he sent his  assistant to look at the skies. “There is nothing there, he (the assistant) said” (v.43). Imagine if Elijah declared, “I quit because I don’t see anything   happening”! The Bible says, “Seven times Elijah said, Go back” (v. 43).        Yesterday I read a quote which said, “Circumstances don’t change the Word of God. Our confidence is in Christ – not us.” Don’t let empty skies send you home discouraged. We believe in God who keeps his promises and declares, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Gal. 6:9). Keep “going back” to Jesus, to his Word, to    prayer, and to faithful living. Our Lord will fulfill His Word in your life. May you have the boldness and perseverance to “go back”…to trust in what he says, in spite of empty circumstances. God rewards faith!
