2nd. Sunday after Pentecost - God is our strength

This week we remember that God is our help when we are in tough times. Our sermon reminds us that Elijah, God’s great prophet- a man who had seen God’s great works and healing for himself- also experienced feeling alone and being disappointed in God. When tough times come we lose our sense of perspective and even small things can appear overwhelming. We can get stuck in that feeling and unable to move forward. Elijah was relieved by an angel of God, sent with food and water to revive him. He had to go on a long journey. Later, God spoke to him and set out the next part of the plan for Elijah’s life.
 Where are you today, in your journey? Are you feeling alone, or disappointed in God? Are you wondering what comes next as you follow God? Wherever you are, be assured today that God is close beside you, wanting to refresh you, listen to you, and give you guidance.
