Is your private life with God as strong as your public life for God? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy looks at Elijah’s retreat to the brook Cherith in 1 Kings 17:1–6. Before Elijah could stand before kings, he first had to kneel before God. In the quiet place of hiding, God prepared him, deepened his faith, and refined his character.
The same is true for us—spiritual strength is built in the unseen moments. Just as deep roots sustain a tree, our time alone with God in prayer and His Word sustains our faith. Are you taking time to go to your hiding place? Let God do His work beneath the waterline, so that when the time comes, you can stand firm for Him.
