1st Kings 18:1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab.
As the bounty hunters are drooling for Elijah, God commands him to deliberately go and show himself to Ahab openly, a move that may seem to most of us as being suicidal in nature. In fact, this here is so serious that when Jezebel could not locate him, she took out all the other prophets of God, except the 100 that Obadiah hid in a cave by fifties.
Many of us have some very important and difficult lessons to learn in the spiritual realm, as it pertains to believing and obeying God. We might often take our concerns to God in prayer, but to leave burdens at His feet is another matter. Others have yet to learn how to surrender their driver’s seat, with the steering wheel fully to God.
And even if we let Him drive, some are often found applying brakes from the passenger seat when we believe He is not following the script, as it pertains to what we may consider as reasonable driving. Thus, when it comes our turn to live off the grid, in the last days of earth’s history, the valuable lessons of trusting God fully would pay great dividends, as it pertains to assurance, and confidence during that time.
Jeremiah 30:5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
