Two Truths and a Lie

If we simply turn the page from last week’s passage where Elijah was calling down fire from heaven, we arrive at today’s passage in which Elijah is on the run. He fears for his life. The once mighty and confident Elijah is suddenly weakened and afraid. It is in this state of mind that he cries out to God because, according to Elijah, he is all alone. But the truth is otherwise. He is not alone, and neither are you. Elijah has people in his life he could lean on. And more than that, God’s presence is there with him. May we find God’s presence and allow that to be enough.
