(James 5:17)
When we read that Elijah was a man subject to the same passions as ourselves, we are apt to suppose that we have the clue to the driving force of his life.
But Scripture shows that the results of his wonderful career were achieved, not by his passion, but by his prayer!
(F. B. Meyer)
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and you will call him Immanuel."
Isaiah 7: 14
