Sermon Text: 1 Kings 19:1-16
That you will move us to new resolve when we have given up hope
Knowing One, even when our faith has been
strong and we have seen wondrous things happen among us, it is easy for us to
become depressed and frightened when we face resistance and our lives seem to
be under threat.
You know us! You see us in our weakness
and need. You Know about our desire to flee, to lay down and give up on the
life of faith – to give up on You. Still, You meet us at the low points of our
trust and energy. You provide for our needs. And You send us where we need to
go in order see reality from your perspective.
There You meet us. You show us that your
whispered voice is more real, more powerful, more terrifying than the unleashed
powers of your creation.
Even though nothing may change in our
external circumstances, your word gives us the ability to get up and return the
way we came. You enable us to resume the tasks of ministry to which You have
called us. You enable us to walk in trust, step by step. Amen.
