“Go, return on your way.” (1King 19:15)
Just in case we think that no one could have messed up as bad as we have, there are many stories in the Bible that teache us otherwise. As long as we have the flesh to contend with we are apt to make mistakes, to fail, or fall short. But God! Elijah “was a man of like passions with us. He failed in the point wherein he was strongest, as Abraham, Moses, Job, Peter, and others have done.” Yet, during his time of weakness, disappointment, and self-doubt, the Lord restored him, "O Lord, take away my life." God ministered to his physical needs and allowed him to vent and share his pain. Then He refocused him, revealed His purpose and, “gave him more to do,” No matter what we face, if we cry out to God in our time of need he will minister to us with His tenderness and put us back on the rock to stay. Rest, spend time with God, and get back to it. GiGi ❤️
