Elijah at one point in his life became upset because he felt like he was the only righteous one. Every Christian has felt that way. I think was has always struck me is that God didn't rebuke or question the confidence Elijah had in his faith. So, hubris wasn't Elijah's problem. The problem was the incorrect definition of what a "righteous person" looked like. Elijah's definition only allowed a function set of 1 - himself. God told him that was not the case, and in fact was not Elijah's job to worry about.
3500 years and yet, with a slowly growing grace movement in the hearts of those around me when I just assumed that it wouldn't nor couldn't happen.
"Arnie, I'm glad that you feel my love and sense a bit of how much I care for you. But that doesn't mean that I am so small that I can't do that for others."
