The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king. 2 Kings 1:15

Twice prior to this, the king of Samaria had sent a company of 50 men, and Elijah called down fire from heaven to incinerate them. This time, the captain of the Guard begged for his life and the angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah.

It seems that whatever the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, it was clear and unequivocal. I personally would love to hear the word of the Lord spoken to me with such clarity. Then certainly I would obey.

Well, He has spoken to us with such clarity.

• Love your neighbor as you love yourselves.
  Turn the other cheek.
  Pray for those who persecute you.
  Do not slander or gossip.
  Pray for wisdom.
  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
  Pray without ceasing.
  Give joyfully.

More often than not, we know the right path to take. We know what to do. Could the Lord be any clearer to us on those things that are written in Scripture?
