This week, we met a man named Elijah, a prophet who was doing what God asked him to do. He had just shown everyone that the Lord is the one true God—but not everyone was happy about it.

When Queen Jezebel heard what happened, she was furious! She sent Elijah a message that said, “I’m going to make sure you’re gone by tomorrow!”

Elijah was scared. He ran far into the wilderness and sat under a tree.

“I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life” (1 Kings 19:4).

But God didn’t leave Elijah alone. An angel touched him and said,

“Get up and eat” (1 Kings 19:5). There was bread and water beside him! Elijah ate, then rested, and the angel came back again and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you” (1 Kings 19:7).

Elijah traveled for 40 days and nights until he came to a cave. There, he hid. But God spoke to him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:9)

Elijah poured out his heart to God, saying he was scared and felt all alone.

God told Elijah to stand on the mountain. Then came a powerful wind, a strong earthquake, and a blazing fire—but Elijah didn’t hear God in any of those. Finally, there came a gentle whisper. And Elijah knew… God was there (1 Kings 19:11–12).

Even though Elijah felt alone, God reminded him he wasn’t. God gave him new instructions and sent him back out—stronger than before.

What We Learned
• God doesn’t just show up in big, loud ways—He speaks in gentle whispers too.
• When we’re tired or afraid, God gives us what we need.
• It’s okay to feel scared or alone—God is always with us.
• God reminds us of our purpose, even when we forget.

Come back next Sunday to meet a brave shepherd boy who becomes a king!
See you then!
