Hey everybody, welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

We are so glad you're joining us today as we kick off a new inspiring series when you're hoping for a miracle.

Now, in this series, Pastor Rick is going to guide us right through God's Word, showing us how to strengthen our faith, and how to live with greater love,

peace, patience, and self-control, even when life feels hopeless. Now, if you've been longing

for a breakthrough, you will not want to miss this. I can't wait to hear what Rick will share

today, so let's join him right now for part one of a message

called When You're Running Out of Everything.

You don't know God is all you need until God is all you've got.

And that's why God often allows a shortage, a deficiency, a lack in your life.

If I would ask you, what are you lacking today? You might say, well,

you know, I need more energy, I need more money, I need more emotional support, I need more

creativity, I need more opportunity, I need a job. All of those things that happen in your life happen really for a reason.

And today we're going to look at what I call, what do you do when you're running out

of everything?

For the next several weeks, we're going to look at the things that cause people to feel

hopeless.

And today we're going to look at three incidents in the life of a man named Elijah.

Elijah was about 900 years before Jesus Christ.

And he went through three experiences, they're all in 1st Kings chapter 17, that teach

us lessons on how God wants to do miracles when there are things that are happening in our lives

that cause us to lack what we need. Now let me give you a little background of this story.

There were three kings in Israel that united the kingdom, Saul and then David and then Solomon.
