hidden ones

Elijah cried out to God in the place of his feeling alone. The forces of the enemy seemed to have overtaken God's people completely. He felt alone, so alone, in his zeal for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God's people had turned away to worship another, a religious system that was devoid of godliness. Not only had they turned away from the I AM, they zealously sought to destroy those who spoke His words. There seemed to be no one who sought God.

In response to the cry of Elijah, Jehovah spoke. He gave a mandate to Elijah, three things he must do. Along with the instructions God also informed Elijah that while he felt so alone, there were others. Seven thousand had not yeilded to the seductiveness of the prevailing religious system. Seven thousand were hidden away, the yeast that could seed revival.

Some of you feel alone...so alone. Be encouraged, there are many like you who have been hidden away. You may not see them, but they are there.
