All Alone on the Mountain

Feeling a little like Elijah?

On a mountain-top, looking at the residue of one of the greatest miracles of recorded time. The fire of God's approval has fallen, the bodies of your enemies are scattered all around, and adrenaline pumps through you as the realization of what has just happens dawns in your mind.

Great victory, accompanied by the favor of God. All would seem to be well in your world. But something is strangely missing in Elijah's mountain-top experience. There is no one to share the victory with.

Elijah sank into deep depression because no one was there to share his experiences with. He sought to find comfort underneath a scraggly juniper bush, and then in a hollow cave. Neither could replace the warmth of a friendly face.

Listen carefully, lay down your armour and just rest for a minute. Let's think about what great things God has done in your life. What victory has just occured at the top of your Mt. Carmel? What enemies have been conquered? What blessing has God rained down on you?

In forum life, we so often share our hurts and anger - and even bitterness. We rail against the injustices of life. We rage against the machine. It's great therapy.

But lets not leave Elijah alone on the mountain-top. Lets share our joys, as well as our sorrows. I will be here for the next hour, Lord willing. Post anything, and I will do my best to encourage you. Share what good things God has recently accomplished in your life.

Mercy = second chances. Thank God we don't get what we deserve.
It's encouraging to know that God loves you and I in spite of our failures.

Thank you Jesus!
Ferd, you are so blessed. What a miracle God has accomplished in your body!
Did you know you are one of my favorite posters? We have a lot in common.
We're young, good-looking, and extremely likeable.

Isn't it great when God rolls the burden of worry away from your mind? God is going to give you complete restoration, Bro!

Randy!, you are still kinda young - at least halfway young. A fifty year old would still consider you young.

Plus, you are a great fisherman, and a pretty good talker!
