“God is not limited by our circumstances. He is limited by our willingness to believe and obey His Word” (p. 44).
“We must be careful not to confuse the voice of our emotions with the voice of the Holy Spirit” (p. 92).
“God doesn’t want us to be perfect; He wants us to be faithful. When we are faithful, He will do the rest” (p. 165).
Elijah is a biblical figure who is known for his strong faith and miraculous deeds. In this book, Priscilla Shirer explores the story of Elijah and how it can inspire and inform our own faith journeys.
Overall, Elijah is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to deepen their faith and trust in God’s plan for their lives. It is a great resource for anyone seeking to grow in their relationship with God and live out their calling.
Mark 16:11 (NASB)
11. When they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they refused to believe it.
The tomb was empty. The stone was rolled away. And Jesus—who had triumphed over hell and the grave—had risen to life again.
They should have anticipated His resurrection. Hadn’t He told them over and over again that He would be crucified, but that He would rise again on the third day? You would think on that third day they would have been exhilarated and waiting with anticipation. But when Mary comes to them with the life-changing news, they don’t believe her. Doubt keeps them in tears. And they continue mourning for One who was no longer in the grave.

Adam did not believe God’s statement, so he ate the fruit and brought sin and death into the world. The people in Noah’s day did not believe his warnings, so the flood came and they were destroyed. Because the children of Israel did not believe that God would drive out the inhabitants of the land, they perished in the wilderness.
What is unbelief costing you today—peace of mind? A joyful heart? Are you fretting over circumstances or because you feel your life is out of control, even though Scripture tells you not to worry? Are you disbelieving God’s promises, God’s power, and God’s love for you?
May God give us faith to trust and believe—regardless of the circumstances, regardless of our feelings.
Father, give us the faith to rely on Your promises and Your character, knowing that You are sovereign, mighty, powerful, and loving. Remind us daily that You are still on the throne.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
