There is more data at our fingertips than ever in history. However, all that information does not translate into wise living (⁠Ephesians 5:15-16⁠). The wisdom of ⁠Proverbs 1:1-7⁠ tells us to pursue wisdom. It takes intentional living; do not reject or mock wisdom. Wisdom invites you to engage and grow (⁠Proverbs 1:20-23⁠). But it takes humility and an understanding that all wisdom is from God; He is eager to gift it (⁠⁠James 1:5⁠⁠).

Elisha, "burns the yokes" of his past and asks for double blessings of the Lords spirit. God blesses a nation through revival. Pray for revival in our land.

He went from a mountain top moment to running for his life. The LORD comes close, encourages and guides him again.

We need to know who God is and who we are. Ask God to help us identify our idols and take them to task.

We look at a story of how God provides for Elijah in remarkable ways Though God's provision for you will not likely come from ravens dropping food He will provide generously and powerfully in your life.

When we take a closer look, though, we find that our times are not much different from theirs in some of the most important ways. Sure, our lives are different because of technology and modern conveniences, but the challenge of where we should place our hope and the battle between the true God and rival gods remains. Our times have their own false gods that demand our allegiance and tempt us to turn our eyes away from the living God. We will be looking at a key story each week from the lives of Elijah and Elisha in 1 and 2 Kings. These stories will help us understand and remember how to place our faith firmly in the true God in a time of widespread unbelief.

]]> The stories of Elijah and Elisha are full of powerful encounters between the living God and the human problem of giving our hearts to rival “gods.” The stories from their lives are full of action and drama: fire from heaven, raising the dead, miraculous provision, and chariots of fire. But what do these ancient stories have to say to people living in a modern world?

Truth is after facilitating a remarkable miracle showing Israel that there is only one true God, Elijah then runs in fear. God asks that question to bring us to know that He is here, we are not alone. Listen for Him. He often speaks in a still quite voice.
