Sidney Smith once said, “A great deal of talent
is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their
graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making the first effort.”
Fear can drown even the most powerful of men. Solomon and Elijah were two great men who felt this despair when they feared the thing most central to their identity as human beings was lost. For the Israelites, and most people today, the first effort must be faith in the power of God to do what He said He would do. Comfort ultimately comes through the one and only son of God, who was born and died so that all who believe will be saved, proving again that God is faithful.
