Robin Mark- Days of Elijah



We sang this song in chapel today, and since we (almost) played it last August in Connecticut, it's been one of my favorites. (thanks Lizzie and Jenni) I particularly like it because it gives us examples from the Bible of how some of God's servants were bold in sharing their faith with those around them and how they served Him. And as the song says, even though they faced trials and days of famine, darkness and sword, they still served as 'the voice in the desert' declaring that the Lord was coming.

The Old Testament in general is full of incredible examples of how we can live a life of faith. Of course, it also has many examples of how NOT to live, but those are still good learning moments.

Right now, we're called to do the same thing that these men (Elijah, Moses, Ezekiel and David, in case you weren't paying attention) did by speaking up and sharing our faith with others. We might face trials because of it, but God is always faithful and will be with us. The fields are white to harvest, ready for someone to come and make a difference. Will that be you?
