Faith or Fear?

Faith or Fear? Sometimes, because we are 100% human, it’s both. The Prophet of Israel, Elijah was mightily used by God in I Kings Chapters 18 &19. He did mighty things through God, but his humanness was a big struggle for him. He was called to a confrontational type of ministry—one that required introspection and personal decision. He asked the people, “How long will you waiver between two opinions? If God is God, then serve Him, but if Baal is god, then serve him!"

The people didn’t like being put on the spot like that and this friction caused Elijah to be lonely and despondent at times, to the point that he felt sorry for himself and became depressed and it affected his ministry.

But, God saw his potential and revealed Himself to Elijah in a very quiet, personal way. Can you hear God’s gentle voice, or do you look only for the loud demonstrations of power?
