1. Long Live King Solomon!

5. Overcoming Discouragement: The Elijah Syndrome
Contributed on Mar 19, 2024
Are you discouraged? Listen for the gentle whisper of the Lord. Elijah was transformed by the still small voice of God. You can be too.
In 1 Kings we see the victorious bold Elijah and we see the opposite extreme when Elijah faced discouragement. The background comes from long years of drought in Israel. Elijah made a prophecy that there would be no dew or rain in Israel. This drought was extremely severe. Now Elijah the ...read more
