Today is Wednesday, September 11, 2019 and here is your Daily Devo.
Even in our dark and difficult times, God still works through us to influence our world for His purposes and Kingdom. This is why we need to resist the temptation to think that our lives do not truly matter. Like Elijah, we can be tempted while exhausted and in pain to become narrow-minded and blind to God’s mission for mankind. We might say things like, “If these big things (like fire from heaven) didn’t change the hearts of men, then I give up! Nothing will work.” Yet, God has shown us through the obedient suffering of Jesus Christ and His redeeming resurrection, there is hope no matter how grim our current situation may be.
Think about this: Part of Elijah’s disappointment came from the fact that the events at Mount Carmel didn’t have quite the impact he imagined they would. Have you ever experienced something similar? In light of Elijah’s story here, how should you respond to similar moments? How can you use your difficult times to minister to others this week?
