Last week we saw Elijah on the mountain top with the prophets of Baal; what an incredible victory he experienced there as the Lord confirmed His word and His prophet. Yet this week we find Elijah in a much different place- a place of great discouragement. The valley of discouragement is a place many of us are familiar with. Discouragement is part of the human experience. In our time in the word today we will explore what kinds of things contributed to Elijah’s discouragement, how he attempted to help himself, and we’ll ultimately see what God did for him and the keys He gave us to overcome discouragement in our lives.
