The Signs of God's Presence

Apr 5, 2020

After his initial meeting with King Ahab, in which he declared a drought over Israel, Elijah appeared before Ahab again in 1 Kings 18. In this meeting, Elijah arranged one of the most memorable showdowns in Scripture: a firefight on Mount Carmel between Elijah and the false prophets of Baal to prove once and for all who is the real God. This boldness contrasts sharply with what we find in 1 Kings 19: the mighty Elijah melted with despair. Here God showed Himself not only to be mighty but also merciful as He strengthened His servant in some very particular ways. This portion of 1–2 Kings encourages us in knowing our God is the living God and the loving God.
