"The Strength To Run"

[46] The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

1 Kings 18:46 NIV

Often times, You don't know what you can do UNTIL you have no other choice, but to do it.

Things in life can happen so fast that you literally don't have the time to question or second guess your own ability.

Elijah just started running not knowing within himself, if he could somehow outrun "that chariot." In the moment, it was enough that he was making an attempt to do so.

SOMEBODY:

It's not clear what comes next, but at least, you are making a valid attempt. You are trying.

And if you really believe what The Bible teaches...

Then you know that all things are possible to the one who believes according to Mark 9:23 NKJV

So, Let nothing stop what you believe for yourself, for the situation, for the circumstances surrounding your current situation. 

Maybe, Elijah didn't have time to stop and think, but just started running.  I'm sure we all can relate to doing something without thinking, something that seemed necessary in the moment....

But it all worked out for Elijah because he was not running in his own strength, he was never running in his own strength. He was running off of God's strength, running off the power of the Lord that came upon him, NOT just pure adrenaline, but God's power, God's strength. 

To everybody around you, it might look like you made a spare of the moment decision and you're running off of pure adrenaline, but God knows and I need you to remember....You can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you.  

Philippians 4:13 NKJV

(ERV) Christ is the one who gives you the strength you need to do whatever you must do.

In other words, It's God that's giving you the power, giving you the strength to run and to keep running.  

So Run, Beloved of the Lord,

Run!! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️

Until Next Sunday.
