Monday 20th May 2019 Prayer Devotion
Scripture Reading:- 1 Kings 19:1-4
Topic:- Elijah Ran In Fear
Text:- James 5:17a
At times, it’s easy to hold a perception that folks like David, Moses, and Paul loom larger-than-life. But they struggled with emotions, evidenced in the Bible.
Elijah wrestled as well. His life rang authentic. The man who stood in solid obedience and courage also ran in fear. Elijah! Man of God, the man of fire! That gave us the clue that he was a man like every other people. See James 5:17a.
The anger of Jezebel who had sworn to take the life of Elijah, compelled him to flee without delay, and take his refuge beyond the desert of Judah, in the sanctuary of Mount Horeb.
Throughout 1 Kings 19 we see Elijah grappling amid the battle with fear. But we also see God as Elijah turns focus to the Lord, the scene changes. The fear clawing and scratching at Elijah dissolves.
So yes, Elijah ran in fear, but he also found courage through God. When he saw that, he arose, and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
Are things bad today at home, in the world? Just do your best, pray and don’t worry! God is in charge, not you nor I, but God Himself. And He knows and has power. He knows what He is doing.
