Bring My Soul Out of Prison

THERE ARE NO SUPER SAINTS! That is the first lesson of our look at David tonight. We all struggle with the same challenges in life—that is the message of James 5.17.

* James 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

The only other time this word 'with a nature like people of Lystra' was used (Acts 14:15) they were human and not divine. Sometimes we need to realize the same thing. God's greatest servants—David, Paul, and Elijah are made of the same stuff we are. Their greatness is of God not of themselves.
