"The Lord will
lead the people" (Micah 2:13). These are precious words. Whatever
happens in our life, we must hold on to this: "The Lord will lead the
people." Whatever happens to us - good things or bad things, we must not
lose sight of the Lord. In the good times, let us trust Him to keep us,
walking in His way, praising Him, even when we don't understand what's
going on in our lives. He is there with us, every step of the way. He
loves us - always and forever.
We read about Elijah in his high-points of strength - the triumph over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:36-39) - and his low-points of weakness - he is ready to give up: “I’ve had enough now, Lord” (1 Kings 19:4). How did Elijah get into such a mess? He forgot this: “The Lord’s power was on Elijah” (1 Kings 18:46). In all life’s ups and downs, we must hold on to this: The Lord has sent His Spirit of power to live in us (2 Timothy 1:7). How are we to live in the power of the Spirit? We need to feed on the Word of God and drink in the Word of God (1 Kings 17:4). We need to pray that the Lord will send His showers of blessing (1 Kings 17:14). We are to live our life “according to the Word of the Lord” (1 Kings 17:16). For our life of faith to be strong in the Lord, we need to listen attentively to the preaching of God’s Word (1 Kings 17:24).
