Beloved!
James says there was nothing special about the prophet Elijah. He wasn’t an Old Testament Jedi. He was just a human being. But when you read how he faced 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, called down fire from heaven, and brought Israel back to worshipping the Lord, here’s what made him stand out.When God needed someone to take a stand for righteousness, he was willing to be used. He refused to spend his life complaining about what was wrong. He had the boldness to do what needed to be done when others were afraid to speak up.
In today’s world, God needs you to be willing to speak up for Him. He might send you to the boardroom to speak to people who
are only concerned about the bottom line and tell them,“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” He might send you to your living room to declare that your family needs to be a household of faith.He might send you to the hallways of your high school to unashamedly tell your friends that you are a child of the living God.Whatever God wants you to do, have the courage to leave a mark!
When you can’t see, God can. What you don’t know, God knows. What you can’t do, God will do, because that is the kind of God that we serve!
Jesus knows if you are not ready to meet Him in the clouds of glory, but He wants you to come home. He wants you to have everything back that was lost in the Genesis fall because you belong to Him. God the Father and His Son are saying, “Come home.”!
ENJOY A BLESSED WEEKEND! FOR GOD OUR LORD HAS YOUR BACK!
