The Right Stand (1 Kings 17:1)
In a day when so much importance is given to titles, qualifications, degrees, and human accolades, Elijah's story brings in a wise and balancing perspective.
As he appeared in the palace of the wicked and pagan king Ahab, the prophet gave only one personal credential: I STAND BEFORE GOD.
Wow! As it turned out, he needed no more than that. Proper preparation for any occupation or ministry has its legitimate place, but there is no substitute for spending time with God.
(1 Kings 17:1, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand...)
