1 Kings 19:1-8
Ahab
told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had
killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah,
saying, “So may the gods do to me, and
more also, If I do
not make your life like the life of one of them
by this time tomorrow.”
Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life, and came to
Beer-sheba, which belongs to
But
he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary
broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough;
now, O Lord, take away my life,
for I am no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell
asleep. Suddenly an angel touched
him and said to him, “Get up
and eat.” He looked, and there at
his head was a cake baked
on hot stones, and a jar of water.
He ate and drank, and
lay down again. The angel of the Lord
came a second time, touched
him and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise
the journey will be too much for you.”
He got up and ate and
drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of
God
PSALM 42:1-4
As
a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me
continually, “Where is your
God?” These things I remember, as I pour
out my soul; how I went with the
throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and
songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping
festival.
GALATIONS 3:23-29
Now
before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under
the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until
Christ came, so that we might be justified by
faith . But
now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ
Jesus you are all children of God
through faith. As many of you as
were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no
longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in
Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s
offspring, heirs according to
the promise.
LUKE 8:35-39
Then
people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from
whom the demons had gone sitting
at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And
they were afraid. Those who had
seen it told them how the one who
had been possessed by demons had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country
of the Gerasenes’ asked Jesus to leave
them; for they
were seized with great fear. So he got
into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged
that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,
“Return
to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.”
So
he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.
