Grace for your spirit
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth forthree years and six months. James 5:17
Elijah the prophet had a nature like ours? Is this the Elijah that called down fire on Mt. Carmel? Is this the Spirit of Elijah Jesus was talking about living in John the Baptist? Is this the Elijah that appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus and Moses? How could he have a nature just like ours? We usually remember Elijah's mountaintop victories, but we forget he was sometimes afraid and depressed. Under the juniper tree and seeking for God on Mt Horeb, we see the fragile nature we can identify with today. Like us, he had his down days. Unlike us, he connected with God with prayer and turned the world upside down. We have bad days, but with prayer we can certainly change our lives, and the lives of others.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
