As a college student, I attended a retreat that included a session on "Trust." The leader introduced the theme by asking us to choose a partner. The partners faced in the same direction, a few feet apart, one behind the other. At the leader's signal, the person in front, with eyes closed and arms folded, was to fall backward into the arms of his or her partner. The exercise quickly revealed who in the group had a high level of trust and who did not. Some allowed themselves to fall without hesitation. Others could not resist the temptation to look back. Some were unable to trust the person behind them and refused to participate.The study of Elijah challenges us to explore what it means to trust God.

In the midst of his despair, he has a profound encounter with God.

Elijah's story reminds us that we can face each day with confidence because we know that our future rests in God's hands.Let's get to know this intriguing Old Testament prophet who has much to teach us about trusting God in all circumstances.
