So what’s God’s word in the face of apostasy? It is a word of judgment. It is a word of pain and suffering directed against everyone, both the righteous and the unrighteous within the covenant community. Elijah spent six months praying for a drought that would cost him personally everything he had. What do we learn from this? God confronts His apostate people God’s judgments fall corporately God’s word, and not our idols, controls our weather The prayer of God’s people governs the course of nature (Elijah) and history (Moses) because the word of God governs nature and history! The “enemy and avenger” don’t have the final word! Elijah prayed for wrath as an OT figure; we pray for mercy through Christ, who bore the judgment for us! So pray, trust God, stand in His presence, and hang on to your faith when the judgment comes! You’ll see; God will be vindicated. You just wait. Amen.
