Reach 24- Wednesday

Intro

Leading blind people

weathering the storm

walking with God is not guaranteed to be easy

there will be difficulty in life and it may even come from the fact that you have decided to follow God

It’s important to remember that even in the storm, God cares for you and is working for good, even if its hard for you to see it at the time

The Last Prophet of Israel

Elijah on mount carmel

the last prophet left

against all odds and all by himself he faces all the evil that will meet him

he goes after this to be alone

despite all his troubles, he is comforted by God being with him, even when God is hard to see

The Prophet’s Apprentice

Elisha, Elijah’s successor

working against Israel’s enemies

attacked at Dothan

three instances of people not seeing God working

God is working for good despite our motivation or what seems plain to us

Application

Colossians 3 we are called to be people who have our eyes and our minds set on the things above

on the good that we know that we ought to do

Philippians 4 whatever might happen to me will happen to me

I will serve God and do his will no matter what
