Listen "Stiff Knees"
Episode Synopsis
In this message from 1 Kings 19, we explore Elijah’s emotional and spiritual struggle after his bold stand for God against the prophets of Baal. Even in the face of fear, isolation, and deep sorrow, Elijah’s story reminds us of a powerful truth: Even when your faithfulness doesn’t spare you from the sorrows of this world—be faithful.
God sees what others don’t. He works in ways we can’t always see, and He never leaves His people alone. As we reflect on Elijah’s despair, Obadiah’s hidden faithfulness, and God’s quiet assurance that 7,000 others still remained loyal, we’re challenged to trust that our obedience matters—even in seasons of discouragement.
Key Takeaways:
God sees your faithfulness, even when it feels unnoticed.
God is working through your faithfulness, even when the results aren’t visible.
God’s plan is bigger than your moment of struggle.
Be encouraged: Jesus has overcome the world—and we can remain faithful, even through trials. (John 16:33)
