Shocked, Elijah watched as the messenger ran away in the rain. The cold rain dripped off his head and nose. He was hungry, cold, and wet. Discouraged with the defiance of Jezebel and the spineless cowardice of Ahab, he pondered his dreary fate. Soon he would be dead if the queen had anything to say about it.

The Spirit of God is the unseen Hand on God’s people, leading and guiding them. Down through time, the Spirit of the Lord has come upon His people to empower them to do what they could not do otherwise...
