Description
Elijah
Classic Portraits Series
By: F.B. Meyer
“These chapters were first delivered as a series of sermons to my beloved people at Melbourne Hall; and then transcribed for The Christian, from the pages of which they are now reprinted, in answer to many requests.
“Some of my readers may be disappointed to charge me with rashness in attempting to delineate the life of Elijah – this colossus among ordinary men, who dwarfs us while his own noel proportions defy the belittling perspective of long distance. But my excuse will be found in the thought, reiterated on many a succeeding page, that the life of this mighty man was produced through the indwelling of that Holy Spirit who is equally within reach of those who will believe and obey.
“There is nothing the Church of today needs so much as spiritual power; and there is nothing which we can have so easily, if only we are prepared to pay the price.
“It is of no use to exclaim in despairing tones, ‘Where is the Lord God of Elijah?’ He is here, waiting to do as much now as for the illustrious saints of olden times. It behooves us to emulate their faith and to stand as they did in the presence-chamber of God, prepared to fulfill His least behest. So shall we be followers of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.” ~F.B. Meyer
