1 Kings

“Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” When God offered Solomon anything he could desire, he asked not for riches or power but wisdom.

Can we really count on God to do miracles? In this 3-day devotional by Michelle McClain-Walters, you’ll look at the miraculous power of God demonstrated through the prophet Elijah and how the Lord still works in these vast and glorious ways today. 

The God of Miracles

The Bible is full of stories about people who try to live to God's glory - with ups and downs. Elijah is such a man. He is a prophet who serves God wholeheartedly, but is also prone to despondency and depression. He confronts the king fearlessly, but flees from the queen. And in all this, God continues to care for His servant.
