I Get Down, He Lifts Me Up.

Today’s message continues our study of Elijah and he is now in a cave and the word of the Lord comes into his heart, saying, “What are you doing here?”.  Thus begins Elijah’s journey to be in the presence of the Lord.  Massive winds blast the cliffs but the Lord was not in the wind.  An earthquake follows, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.  Then a fire and, yet again, the Lord was not in the fire.  But then came, a gentle whisper, that is when Elijah knew it was the Lord. 

Elijah was down but the Lord lifted him up.  Knowing the Lord doesn’t mean you’ll never get down but it does mean you won’t *stay* down!

Today’s bible verses are found in 1 Kings 19: 1-18.
