Meditation for Thursday, 8/28/25
“Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”? And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.” Romans 11:2b-6
My thoughts: These verses remind me that, like Elijah, sometimes we don’t see the whole picture. Elijah was so discouraged that he was about to give up. He thought he was the only one left, but there were 7,000 other faithfuls he didn’t know about. So when you’re discouraged and think all is lost, remember Elijah’s prayer and God’s response!
In His Love, Cindy
