And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

Do you feel alone? Loneliness is a complicated emotion. For some, loneliness comes from feeling different than others. For others, it comes from losing friends and companions.

This three-day set will guide you through God's heart for you in lonely times.
Like Elijah, the prophet, we have found ourselves in a cave, isolated from society. In these moments of detachment from our routine behaviors, we must train ourselves to take heed to where the Holy Spirit beckons our attention. When we learn to listen to that still small voice, God will enable us to fulfill our purpose in Him.
The questions we often ask ourselves in desert wanderings are: "How did I get here in the middle of nowhere?" "When will I escape this place?" "How long is this journey going to last?" Find out the biblical principles in this three-day plan by Sam and Mildred of FaithMuscles101.
