The You're going to do you.

Do you do you do you do you do

do you do reading about the Prophet Elijah in the Old Testament, we see that even those with

strong faith have moments of weakness and failure.

So how does that happen?

We'll find out today on Truth for Life and learn how we can press on even when we're tempted

to give up.

Alistairbegg is teaching from the opening verses of First Kings, chapter 19. Most of us find it okay to March when the band is playing and the crowd is out and all is going well

it is a little more challenging when the wheels come off our wagon and let's be honest

enough tonight to say there are times when we get up in the morning or we turn

around one afternoon and all of a sudden it would appear that every single wheel came off the wagon and we are certainly

not rolling, we're stuck.

I think there are people here tonight and despite the fact that the hymn singing has been great and the opportunity for

fellowship has been fine, you're not exactly on the mountaintop, you're rather in the valley. There's been a change in your life from faith to fear. Well then

let's just learn here from Elijah because the reason that he found himself in this condition was largely because his focus changed.

He started, as it were, to look at God through his circumstances, rather than to look at his circumstances through God. There is a reason that the King James Version translates

verse and translates verse and Elijah saw and ran for his life. He looked at things but looked at them differently now.

He began to walk by sight and not by faith and so his peace was affected. His

spiritual prosperity was eroded, he had magnified the difficulties

and he was beginning to become paralyzed.

Admittedly, an angry woman is an awesome opponent, but God was more than able to meet that.

Genesis chapter 12 in the encounter of Abram, with the circumstances that weren't all the best reveal the exact same thing.
