“Elijah is a model of earnest prayer that was answered by God. His effectiveness in prayer extended even to the weather! Yet this shows that Elijah’s heart was in tune with God’s. He prayed for the rain to stop and start only because… it was in the heart of God…” -David Guzik

During (difficult) times, we grow spiritually, the fullness of time grows and Jesus will come. The key is to submit expectantly to His hidden timetable, trusting wholeheartedly in His goodness. - R. Kent Hughes

“ I desire to whisper one truth in your ear, and I pray that it may startle you: You are submitting even now. You say, ‘Not I; am lord of myself.’ I know you think so, but all the while you are submitting to the devil. The verse before us hints to this. ‘Submit yourselves unto God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.’ If you do not submit to God you never will resist the devil, and you will remain constantly under his tyrannical power. Which shall be your master, God or devil, for one of these must? No man is without a master.”
Charles Spurgeon - Pastor Stephen
