PRELUDE “ Word of the Everlasting God” by J. Southbridge
INTROIT
*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 42: 1-5, 7, 11
As
a deer longs for flowing streams,
So my soul longs for you, O God.
My
soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and behold the
face of God?
My
tears have been my food day and night,
while people say to me continually,
"Where is your
God?"
These
things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led
them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of
thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you
disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall
again praise him, my help and my
God.
Deep
calls to deep at the thunder of your cataracts; all your waves and your billows
have gone over me.
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you
disquieted within me? Hope in God;
for I shall
again praise him, my help and my
God.

RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:
The events up on
Fire called from Heaven, four hundred and
fifty prophets of Baal defeated by Elijah and
the God who had answered him.
Then when the false
prophets had been killed Elijah had sent word to Ahab and Jezebel that a storm
would come and end the three year drought...
And the storm came on call, Elijah’s call.
This was a mountain top experience.
The only problem with being
on the mountain top is that eventually you have to come down to the valley.
And in that valley Ahab and Jezebel held
power.
And Jezebel’s threat to
kill Elijah was enough to put him to flight, and apparently give him cause to
forget all of the miraculous working of God on
“It is enough now, O Lord, take away my
life…”
God of mountain and valley,
forgive us when we flee in fear before the princes and powers of this earth.
God who stands above the principalities and powers, help us
to know that there is greater power in Your still small voice, than in all of
the pronouncements and proclamations of earthly rulers. May Your voice calm our fear and call us to
service. Amen.
