Moses, David and Elijah were all important biblical figures in Old Testament times. They all had unique and faithful relationships with God. Moses' relationship with God was special. To be more precise, the Lord will speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. (Deut. 33:9-11)Yet, with David, he loved the Lord with all his heart. Furthermore, David's dependence on God was eternal, as was his praise and worship of God. (2 Sam. 22) And with Elijah, his relationship with God was his passion to do God's will. In addition to the different relationship with God, they all shared similar missions in the name of the Lord. First of all, they were all prophets chosen by the Lord God Almighty. In addition to being chosen by God, the Lord appointed them to lead and guide the nation of Israel. Most importantly, God used them all to fulfill His promise to the Israelites. For example, God often used Moses and the other prophets to demonstrate signs of His power and to carry out His judgment against Israel and its enemies. In fact, God gave them similar missions for His kingdom. Moses was the first Jewish prophet to lead the children of Israel. Being humble and doubtful of his ability to lead, God nevertheless chose Moses to lead the children of Israel from slavery. (Ex 3) Even though Moses often doubted God's commandments, the Lord always reassured him to go and carry out His commands. (Ex 6:1-12) Since David and Elijah came years after Moses, their missions for God are similarly compared to those of Moses. Like Moses, God chose David to lead the Nation of Israel (2 Sam. 7:2-16). God told Moses to build the Tabernacle. (Ex 25:1-9) Years later, God did not allow David to build him a Temple, but promised David...... middle of paper ......ct that Elijah had demonstrated the power of the Lord and the The sovereignty of the Lord on Mount Carmel. (1 Kings 18:16-42) So why did Elijah flee? He fled out of fear. Elijah doubted that God would protect him. He focused on Jezebel's evil instead of God's power. (1 Kings 19) Above all, when God asks Elijah at the top of Mount Erob, “What are you doing here?” Elijah said he was zealous and blamed the Israelite for rejecting the Lord's covenant. Despite Elijah's actions, he still hasn't confessed. (1 Kings 19:9-14) As you can see, God trusted Moses, David, and Elijah to follow His commands and do His will. Above all, they were all faithful when the Lord called them to do His will. However, at crucial times in their lives, they all forgot the purpose of what God had prepared them to do. Importantly, they forgot to trust in God and remain faithful in all situations.
