When we battle with the same trials and troubles, it’s tempting to seek a fresh word from the Lord.
We can wrongly think that the old, old story of the Bible is outdated and lacking relevance.
The prophet Elijah had that same temptation, for after the dramatic victory over the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, things got much harder for him.
For, even though it seemed that King Ahab had turned to the Lord, his Baal-worshipping wife, Jezebel, was fiercely against her husband’s repentance.
