[Discoveries] 10-18-08 Discovering God one step at a time. -- 1 Kings 17:2-3a

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: "Leave here ..." -- 1 Kings 
17:2-3a*/

This is how we discover God: He tells us to do something that makes no 
sense to the flesh (the part of us that still embraces sin or lies), we 
do it, and then He shows us the next step. Elijah needed to deliver his 
message to Ahab before he would learn any further details about the plan 
of God, and, ultimately, about God Himself.

God reveals Himself to us in steps. He invites us to take His hand, we 
take it, and He leads us through the adventure of life. The adventure is 
meant to be fun. God didn't send Goliath to Israel because He wanted to 
terrify His people. God sent Goliath to Israel because He meant for His 
people to look up and see the God who towers over Goliath.

Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries? Victims of 
violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace, wholeness, the 
power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries. Those ensnared by 
addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being restored. Families 
are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in restricted lands who 
face persecution are finding strength and encouragement. Young believers 
are learning how to walk with the Lord, and people are coming into the 
faith for the first time. None of this happens as a result of one 
person's efforts, but rather this is God's work as He blesses the 
sacrifice of many people including yourself. We partner with you, with 
other ministries, and, most significantly, with the Lord. That's how the 
supernatural happens.
