    We are called on to act in a manner that pleases God. Elijah’s actions did not please God, but God still gave him what he needed to persevere in faith. We are called on to be united in Christ. We are to be one body that is wholly obedient to God.

As a result of the deaths of the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. Elijah has been forced to flee for his life. Elijah was discouraged. He had faced ...read more
