Elijah The Tishbite

Text:  1Kings 17:1-24   

Key Verses: V:1 “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand.” 

Key Thought: Every man stands before something which is his judge. (BI)

The car enthusiast stands before a Porsche 911GT3 and is judged, and empowered.
LeBron James, stands before the hoop and scoreboard where he is judged, and energized. 

Elijah the Prophet stood before God, in the presence of king Ahab and is empowered to pronounce judgment on an idolatrous nation . Throughout chapter 17 Elijah’s steps are directed by God, Elijah “stands  before God” in humble obedience. Does God direct the steps of your life, do we “stand before God” and humbly obey.
  
Ps 17:5 Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.
