1 Kings 19 – Elijah Flees and Hears from God | Reading the Bible Daily with Dave
Date: Thursday, August 14, 2025
Yesterday, we saw the Lord send fire from heaven on Mount Carmel. Today in 1 Kings 19,
the scene shifts from a public victory to a personal struggle. Elijah flees in fear and meets God
in a way that surprises him — not in the dramatic, but in a still small voice.
Join us as we reflect on God’s faithfulness in our moments of weakness.
