“Then
he came to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the Lord came to
him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” He said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord,
the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down
Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life,
to take it away.” 1 Kings 19:9-10.
Elijah
called the fire down from heaven. I
would call that a roaring success, but Elijah was discouraged and hid in a
cave. We all have times when we feel like
we have been beaten up by the Church when all we were trying to do was the
right thing. Sometimes we hide out by
not going to church for a while. That’s
OK, but don’t lose heart. God will come
looking for you, and when He does say, “Here Am I.”
