The Bible tells us that Ahab told Jezebel what had happened on Mount Carmel.
He didn’t say what God had done, but rather what Elijah had done.
Ahab said that Elijah had killed all the prophets with the sword, but the 450 prophets of Baal were false prophets who had turned the people away from true worship.
Ahab did not harm Elijah and he was king, but he knew that if he reported him to Jezebel, she would punish him.
This is how Jezebel sent a message to Elijah, threatening to take his life in 24 hours just as he had done to the others.
And this threat was a great test for Elijah.
Elijah had won a great victory with the Lord’s help on Mount Carmel.
One would have thought that Elijah would remember that God had answered his prayers by sending fire and rain and that he would remember that God had always been with those whose lives were threatened.
What interests us this morning is that Jezebel’s threats put fear in the heart of an entire prophet, Elijah, to the point where he fled and went into hiding to save his life.
Elijah travelled one day in the desert and he knew that he was not where God was waiting for him.
Beloved, we want to say to ourselves that Elijah fled but the Lord knew where he was and he knew that Elijah needed help.
The Bible tells us that Elijah did not die of thirst in that desert,
In that forest, he did not die of hunger.
The Lord managed to send him an unexpected provider.
A raven, a rejected animal, was chosen by the Lord to rescue his son.
When we find ourselves in a difficult situation, the Lord comes to our rescue, our covenant speaks for us.
And all that was dark becomes light,
Where there was despair, there is hope.
Our Lord is the one who knows how to protect us.
Where do we look for solutions?
Who will we run to?
Thank the Lord who surrounds you with his protection.
Psalms, 18:36 – You give me the shield of your salvation; your right hand sustains me, and I become great through your goodness.
God guards our steps on the way, the hand of the Lord prevents us from falling into the snares of the enemy.
Like David, we can say that we always find God at the rendezvous, ready to respond on our behalf.
Nothing can separate us from God’s power.
Yes, Lord!!!!
We always feel safe with you.
You are our protection.
May glory return to you.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
