Presentation transcript:

1 Kings 19:11a The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

1 Kings 19:11b Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

1 Kings 19:12a After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. 

1. God is saying that He has all of the resources, but He isn’t the same as the resources.

1 Kings 19:12b-13 And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

1. God is saying that He has all of the resources, but He isn’t the same as the resources. 2. What do I do when God’s resources just don’t move me to action?

1 Kings 19:14 He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn 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.”

2. What do I do when God’s resources just don’t move me to action? 3. God is new every morning, even when I can’t see it.

1 Kings 19:15-16 The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 

3. God is new every morning, even when I can’t see it. 4. When I get stuck, I need to look for an unlikely job, a kingdom job.

1 Kings 19:17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 

4. When I get stuck, I need to look for an unlikely job, a kingdom job. 5. In all things, God is at work.

1 Kings 19:18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him. 

5. In all things, God is at work. 6. When I think that I am the only one, it’s because I have made myself the only one.

1 Kings 19:19a So Elijah went… 

6. When I think that I am the only one, it’s because I have made myself the only one. 7. When God leads, go.

1 Kings 19:19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.

1 Kings 19:20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,” he said, “and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”

7. When God leads, go. 8. I don’t need someone’s approval to move forward with God’s directive. 

Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

1 Kings 19:21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.

8. I don’t need someone’s approval to move forward with God’s directive.  9. I am done with the old when I offer God all of me.

9. I am done with the old when I offer God all of me. 10. I may be done with God, but God is not done with me.

Wisdom for the spiritually weary 1. God still seeks me when I wander. 2. God still has His methods. 3. God still supplies His resources. 4. God still sends supportive people.
