Elijah And The Whisper of Grace - 1 Kings 19

“And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.”

Elijah is one of the great names in the Old Testament. He prayed that it would not rain, and it did not. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. James uses Elijah as an example of prayer in James 5:17-18. On the Mount of Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah appear before Jesus, Peter, James, and John. Moses represented the Law, while Elijah represented the Prophets. 

Elijah was a great man but not perfect. We all know only Jesus is perfect. And in Chapter 19, we find Elijah running away, fearful, in the depths of depression to the point that he asks God to take his life.

Yet this chapter is not about Elijah’s weakness but God’s Grace.

Come this Sunday, and invite friends who might be hiding in the cave to join you and see God’s Grace in this beautiful story.

“The little world within us, like the great world without, is full of confusion and strife; but when Jesus enters it, and whispers “Peace be unto you,” there is a calm, yea, a rapture of bliss.” Charles Spurgeon

I appreciate your prayers!
