Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Elijah asks God to answer so the people will know who God is. What was the prayer actually for?

  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • His prayer is short and calm. Does God need long words or loud ones to hear us?

  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What is one short, honest thing you will say to God this week?

  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who is not sure God is real? What could you say to them?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, the prophets of Baal shouted all day and Elijah said about sixty words. Thank you that you are not impressed by noise. Help me pray to a God who is really there.
