Hope For The Journey

Fleeing for his life, Elijah found himself in the wilderness having a pity party. This is coming from a man who has experienced the power of God like few others.  But God knew where to find him and sent an angel to minister to him.

1 Kings 19:7-8 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

Wow! What a miracle!  Elijah’s faith had grown weak, and he even walked away from his calling. But God tenderly strengthened him physically and spiritually.

Sometimes our journey becomes too great. We may feel alone and hopeless, but God knows where we are and what we need.  If we've failed Him, he will tenderly forgive us when we ask. He will make us strong again with His power. God is faithful.
