How Are the Mighty Fallen? Elijah's Story Begins

How are the mighty fallen — and what can we learn from the life of one of the greatest prophets in Scripture? In today's Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens 1 Kings 19 (KJV) and takes us back through the stunning victories of Elijah before asking a sobering question: what happened after all those miracles?You might be asking — can a truly great man of God fall into despair? Why does God sometimes let us face our lowest moments right after our greatest victories? What does Elijah's journey teach me about my own faith walk today?In this first part of the series "How Are the Mighty Fallen," Pastor Webster walks us through three powerful moments in Elijah's ministry:- Elijah declares a drought and God's word comes to pass exactly as spoken- Ravens miraculously bring bread and meat to Elijah at the Brook Cherith- A widow's barrel of meal and cruse of oil never run out, just as God promised- The widow's dead son is raised back to life after Elijah cries out to GodThese were real, documented victories — and yet, as Pastor Webster reminds us, the story is not finished. Tomorrow's devotion will show us what happened next.
