"Elijah the Tishbite" by C. H. Mackintosh is a collection of writings exploring biblical themes, specifically focusing on the life and significance of the prophet Elijah and related spiritual concepts, crafted in the late 19th century. The work delves into the principles of divine grace, repentance, and the importance of aligning oneself with God's will, as seen through historical and theological lenses. At the start of the text, the author introduces a profound principle relating to God's interaction with humanity – the idea that the "fulness of God waits on an empty vessel." This sets the tone for the exploration of biblical narratives, particularly those in 1 Samuel, where Israel's failure to humble themselves leads to their defeat in battle against the Philistines. The opening segments emphasize the importance of acknowledging one's spiritual emptiness in order to receive God's grace and assistance, contrasting moments of humility and the recognition of divine sovereignty with the dangers of self-reliance and moral failure.
