The Max Lucado Encouraging Word Podcast

Hello, friend. Thanks for joining me on The Encouraging Word Podcast. This week we continue our discussion on the life of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. We’re talking about what to do when God gives you a calling, but you don’t yet have the provision - or know where it will come from. You’ll see how Elijah and a nameless widow both discovered that the God who calls also supplies, right on time, in just the amount needed.

One of the most remarkable things about Elijah’s life was the end—he didn’t die. God took him to up heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah knew what was coming, but until that moment, he went about his work. He ministered, he served. He showed us how to face our final days with faith. Elijah’s exit from this world reminds us that God oversees every aspect of our lives, including the end. Those who live on the promises on the God die with unshakeable hope in the life to come.

Hi, friend. Thanks for joining me for another Encouraging Word. We live in a world where truth is relative, where people are more concerned with “my truth” or “your truth.” It’s a modern philosophy, a political or business strategy, an approach to relationships. We build narratives to fit our agenda. But that’s not just sin, it’s dishonesty, and it doesn’t meet God’s standard.
