Robyn's Bible Reading Strategies Applied
273. Elijah Flees from Jezebel (cont.) 1. Today's Passage: 1 Kings 19:10-18 Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend. Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here. You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages. Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the New Living Testament (NLT). Thank You for meeting us, LORD. We welcome you into this place. 9b. But the LORD said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 10. Elijah replied, "I have zealously served the LORD God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed everyone of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too." 11. "Go out and stand before me on the mountain," the LORD told him. And as Elijah stood there, the LORD passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" 14. He replied again, "I have zealously served the LORD God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too." 15. Then the LORD told him, "Go back the same way you came, and travel to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint Hazael to be king of Aram. 16. Then anoint Jehu son of Nimshi to be king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. 17. Anyone who escapes from Hazael will be killed by Jehu, and those who escape Jehu will be killed by Elisha! 18. Yet, I will preserve 7,000 others in Israel who have never bowed down to Baal or kissed him!" I Kings 19:10-18 NLT 2. 11th strategy. Reading... Simple Act of Meditation Simple acts of meditation are not difficult. If they were difficult God would not encourage every person to do them. They are sometimes uncomfortable. But they are always profitable. They bring us closer to the heart of God. We are to Hide His Words In Our Hearts.
3. Praying for You Abba to come and be with us in this place. In Your name Jehoshua Amen. 4. Thank you for leaving your initials and a comment. Enjoy your day as His presence if with you. Remember: I pray for you every day. And I will be back here tomorrow, I hope I will see you here too. ~Robyn Robyn & Biff Cox RR&BC, LLC ©2016 Scripture quotations marked NLT are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation,copyright©1996,2004.Used by permission of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., Carol Stream, Illinois 60188.
