Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, & it did not rain on the land for three & a half years. Again he prayed, & thug heavens gave rain & the earth produced it's crops. (James 5: 17 NIV)
We read about people in the bible like Elijah, Paul, Peter, David, Abraham & the list goes on & on. We see the great things that happened in their life & I think we somehow think they were some kind of superhero. Even today you might think that about Billy Graham & others. The bible says here that they were men "just like us". The thing these people had was that they surrendered their lives to God, had faith in Him as God,& they didn't doubt. However, that same God that did those things through them & that same God who answered their prayers, is still alive, working, & still has powerful as He was then. If we want to see those types of things happen today & we want to see God do great things through us, then we need to surrender ourselves to Almighty God & believe God to do what He promises. We need to spend more time listening to God so that we can better follow Him. Those people could have said they were too small to do big things but instead they said God was too big to fail. It's time to believe that again today!
