We have heard since childhood that God loves us and has a great plan for our lives. While those words are factual, they are certainly incomplete. The modern, American view of God having “a great plan” for our lives somewhat lends itself to us believing that God is committed to our lives being easy, prosperous, unhindered and free of trouble. Nothing could be further from the truth. From the life of the Prophet Elijah, we see how God works in the lives of those people whom He intends to use for His own glory. Elijah would eventually become known as the greatest prophet in Israel’s history. That was God’s great plan for his life! But for that plan to become reality, Elijah had to experience the painful, difficult process of the glory of decrease. We should expect the same in our own lives.
