Elijah Elijah Elijah

How many times have you found yourself in the same position as Elijah? On an up and down rollercoaster. He performs miracles, speak a word, and it comes to pass. Challenges those that opposes the Lord God. He knows that the Lord supernaturally strengthens him, then hears a word that Jezebel is out to kill him. Now he fears, runs for his life and goes hiding in a cave? 

What in the world?! His emotions/feelings got the best of him. He allowed his fear to win out over his faith, but faith and fear cannot dwell in the same place. All that boldness, strength, faith and power went out the window...just like that. Well, God met him right where he ran to...in the cave. The Lord asked him, "What doest thou here, Elijah? Twice the Lord asked him that and twice Elijah gave the same tired excuse/answer. He told God what work he did on his behalf, like that gave him a pass to hide, be depressed and die. God responded to Elijah with a directive Lol. 

Shake yourself, get out of your emotions and get back to work! I love you, I hear you, and I feel you, but get back to work! When he went back to work he found help. He learned he wasn't the only prophet standing firm for the Lord and although Elijah didn't know it yet, his successor...Elisha. 

You will encounter many challenges but they come to grow and mature you. Step up your faith and in the meantime, keep working.
