Elijah's story

If you have read the last post, you might be wondering why did Jon behaving like a wimp... isn't he been blessed enough by God yet? Perhaps God has seen his blog, so He is sending an angel (by the name of Elaine) to tell him the story of Elijah.

1 Kings 19:3-11
(Prior to this Elijah was the only Lord's prophets and he just managed to perform great mircales of God at Mount Carmel, and now Jezebel is hunting for his life)

Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day's journey into desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might died. "I have had enough, Lord," he said. " Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors." then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep.

All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat." He looked around and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and the lay down again.

The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." So he got up and ate and drink. Stengthened by that food, he travelled forty days forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night.

The Lord Appears to Elijah
And the word of the Lord came to him: "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

He replied, "I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Isrealites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by." ...

Having heard this story of Elijah, Jon realized that we are humans afterall and we have our fragilities. But Elijah's story is a great testimony of showing "Obedience" as it was written in bible, that if you have been obeying God's guidance, you will one day be taken to heaven just like how God brought Elijah back "home" when the time comes...

Ok, its time to "WAKE UP" and carry on the journey with God!
