SHOW NOTES: In Podcast Episode 292, “Avoid the ‘I Am the Only One’ Trap,“ Kim discusses the “I Am the Only One” trap the prophet Elijah repeatedly fell into and how each of us can recognize this temptation and avoid it in our own lives. Prayerfully determine which “I Am the Only One” trap you struggle with the most. Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 19:9-10 with 10 as the focal verse: 22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only prophet of the Lord who is left, but Baal has 450 prophets. (1 Kings 18:22) 10 Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” (1 Kings 19:10) 14 He replied again, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” (1 Kings 19:14) WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE: Which “I Am the Only One” trap is your greatest temptation? Additional Resources and Scriptures: 13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
