Title: The suffering of the prophets
Bible verse: 1 Kings 19: 14
And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
Message: God does not always elect the strong, but He strengthens those whom He elects.
Summary:
Like Elijah, we too at times find ourselves in despair because it seems that we have fought for the Lord without success, because we feel alone, or because we have doubts about our election. Let us
- intercede for those who are harassed, persecuted, and killed because of their faith.
- take strength from God through His word and Holy Communion.
- trust that God will lead His plan of redemption to completion, no matter what the circumstances.
