In Times Like These
Often when we find ourselves experiencing trials and difficulties in our lives we feel alone and like we are the only ones facing times like these. We struggle knowing which way to turn or who to turn to. Where do you turn when you are facing difficult times? Do you rely on your intellect and reasoning, do you turn to family and friends, or do you turn to the Lord. Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you, he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Elijah was a prophet who endured difficult situations and he stands as a shining example of trusting in and obeying God. People had turned away from the one true God to trust in idols that had no value. Elijah battled problems such as famine, tragedy, hunger, and even his own doubts. Find out how you can survive during difficult times as you take a closer look at Elijah— an ordinary man in extraordinary times.
