Simplicity
October 22, 2023 • Jay Scott • 1 Kings 19, 1 Kings 18
When Elijah is at his wit's end, God leads him to do three things:
1. Sleep.
2. Eat.
3. Scripture.
The biggest problem with a hurried and stress-filled life is that is doesn't leave room for us to hear the gentle voice of God.
"Simplicity" means "keeping the main thing, the main thing!"
