When the professing ones

have deserted,

be an Elijah.

When Jezebel

takes her seat,

be an Elijah.

When the world

is upside down,

heathen to the core,

be an Elijah.

God answers

in consuming fires

and in a gentle whisper.

You are not

a sole worshipper.

He always reserves

a remnant

for His glory.

Do not tell

Him

you’ve had enough.

Do not lay down

to die.

Emmanuel-

protects

provides

and strengthens,

back to work

in His grace

and power,

not yours.

They smile to your face

and mock your faith.

They yell at your face

and revile your God.

They ignore your face

and hate the Christ.

When evil reigns

be an Elijah.

Rebuke the darkness

with your life.

Restrain wickedness

with your prayers.

Rest in the Almighty God

with trust in His plan

and get to work.

Be an Elijah.
