It is this incredible humility of the Lord’s soft-spoken unassuming
ways that takes us by surprise more than anything else… so unlike anything we
see or recognize in or around us.
But His silence proves to be more powerful than all the
noise we produce… His uncoerceive patience infuses dignity and value into every
daily choice He graciously allows us to make…
Like a broken record player, the discouraged prophet has one message looping inside his
head over and over again:
I went all in for You LORD. I’ve been working my heart out for You… and what
kind of results I see? Your own people turned their backs on You. They turned
their worship of You upside-down. They got rid of all Your true messengers and
I am the only one left. And right now my own head is on the chopping block.
This doesn’t make sense. It just doesn’t add up to who I've thought I knew You are…
That’s the discouragement impersonated. But the prophet’s Lord knows and understands
the prophet more than he knows and understands himself.
This journey, My dear one, is too great for you… the job is much
bigger than you realize, My child. You are a part of a much,
much larger story…. You may know where you fit with those who came before you but
you have no idea how you fit with those who will come after you. This story is much, much bigger than you can conceive or comprehend right now.
And I want you to know that you are not all alone. There are more people that love
Me and serve Me than you realize. I have
plans and purposes hidden in My heart that you know nothing about.
Do you trust
Me, Elijah? Will you trust Me with what you don’t know and don’t understand yet?
