Lifes Darkest Moments
August 27, 2014
Read:
1 Kings 19:1-8
Charles Whittlesey was a heros hero. Leader of the so-called Lost Battalion in World War I, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery when his unit was trapped behind enemy lines. When the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was dedicated, Charles was chosen to serve as pallbearer for the first soldier laid to rest there. Two weeks later, it is presumed that he ended his own life by stepping off a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.
Like Elijah (1 Kings 19:1-7), Charles was publicly strong, but in the quiet, post-public moments, his feelings of despair set in. People today frequently face situations bigger than they can handle. Sometimes its temporary despair brought on by fatigue, as in Elijahs case. He had been part of a great victory over the prophets of Baal (18:20-40), but then he feared for his life and ran into the wilderness (19:1-3). But often, its more than despair and its more than temporary. Thats why it is imperative that we talk about depression openly and compassionately.
God offers His presence to us in lifes darkest moments, which enables us, in turn, to be His presence to the hurting. Crying out for helpfrom others and from Godmay be the strongest moment of our lives.
Father, grant us the candor to admit to each
other that sometimes life overwhelms us. And
grant us the courage to help others find
helpand to seek it when we need it.
Hope comes with help from God and others.
Elijah, deemed Israels greatest prophet, was highly revered and well spoken of by the Jews, by the Lord Jesus Himself, and by the apostles (Matt. 17:10-11; Luke 1:17; Rom. 11:2-4, James 5:17-18). He appeared with Moses at the transfiguration of Jesus (Matt. 17:3). Because Elijah did not die (2 Kings 2:1), the Jews believed he would come back again (Mal. 4:5). Many scholars believe that Elijah will be one of the two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11.

*Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday To Amy's Place*
August by Elizabeth Maua Taylor
August rushes by like desert rainfall,
A flood of frenzied upheaval, Expected,
But still catching me unprepared.
Like a matchflame
Bursting on the scene,
Heat and haze of crimson sunsets.
Like a dream
Of moon and dark barely recalled,
A moment,
Shadows caught in a blink.
Like a quick kiss;
One wishes for more
But it suddenly turns to leave,
Dragging summer away
