When things have been tough for a while, following the Lord can start to feel like we’re just trudging through life. It’s tempting to take matters into our own hands in these moments. Or, if we’re set on being faithful and obedient, we might feel like God has only our duty, and not our delight, in mind. The beautiful thing about God is his best plans for us, although not always easy, always result in joy for his children. As we wrap up our journey alongside Elijah, we’ll see that God had a unique and inspiring conclusion for Elijah’s story in mind all along.
