“Elijah stood on Mount Carmel and called down fire from heaven. He faced prophets, confronted darkness, and saw God move powerfully. It was a victory no one could deny… But right after that, everything shifted. One threat. One moment of fear. And Elijah ran.

“Elijah was afraid and ran for his life.” 1 Kings 19:3

The same man who stood boldly before many now felt alone, tired, and overwhelmed. He sat down and said,

“I have had enough, Lord.” 1 Kings 19:4

This is the part we do not always talk about. Even strong people get tired. Even faithful people feel overwhelmed. Even those who have seen God move can still struggle.

But God did not shame him. God met him. He sent rest. He sent provision. He sent His presence, not in the wind, not in the fire, but in a gentle whisper.

“After the fire came a gentle whisper.” 1 Kings 19:12

God was not only in Elijah’s victory. He was also in his weakness.

Sometimes we think we need to be strong all the time. That we cannot slow down, cannot feel, cannot admit we are tired. But God meets you not just in your strength, but also in your breaking.

So if you feel exhausted, if you feel like you have nothing left, you are not disqualified. God is still near. God is still speaking. God is still restoring. Because even in your lowest moment, He has not left you. ❤️‍🔥”

Hi Everyone! I had to share this Bible story, because I think of it often. In fact, just a few days ago. It always puzzled me why Elijah, after such an amazing victory and demonstration of God's power Elijah ran away, hid and wanted to die.

Why did Elijah react by running away? Possibly because he was human and imperfect. He was exhausted out, and maybe he felt his powerlessness, because it was God who had the power, not Elijah. The devil probably had a hand in Elijah's reaction. And fear is a spirit, which affects all of us at times. It could've been any or all of these things.

What can we take from this story? That we are human, and at our lowest points we aren't really ourselves. And God knew that sometimes all we need is rest, provision and a gentle, comforting presence.

Friends, let's be a supply to each other, when we've reached the end of ourselves, as God was to Elijah. Have a blessed day in Christ. Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

“Jacob spent most of his life striving. Grabbing… Trying to secure blessings in his own way.

His very name meant deceiver.

And for years, that is exactly how he lived. He took what was not his. He ran from consequences. He carried fear, guilt, and the weight of his past.

But one night, everything changed. Jacob found himself alone. No distractions. No escape. And there, he wrestled…

“So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.” Genesis 32:24

It was not just a physical struggle. It was internal. Spiritual. Personal. A moment where God confronted not just his situation, but his identity. Jacob refused to let go.

“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” Genesis 32:26

And God responded in a way Jacob did not expect. He changed his name… From Jacob to Israel. From deceiver to one who wrestles with God and overcomes.

Sometimes God does not just fix your problems. He transforms who you are.

We keep striving, trying to control everything. We hold on to our old ways, our old identity, our past mistakes. But there comes a moment when God allows a breaking, a wrestling, a confrontation. Not to destroy you, but to change you.

Because the blessing is not just in what you receive. It is in who you become. God has to change your name before He can change your story.”
