Ouch.

Lately, it seems like every where I turn, I keep being reminded of 1 Kings 19. Yeah, you know, the chapter about Elijah hiding in the cave and feeling all sorts of ways about his life and everything and everyone in it.

Elijah felt alone. He was discouraged. He thought he was useless.

How many times have we felt the same way?

Alone. Discouraged. Useless. Good for nothing.

I tell ya, friend, when discouragement hits, it hits hard. And sometimes it’s not easy to shake.

I know because there were several years (yes, I said 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴) that I battled m a j o r discouragement.

Sometimes, when the storm is raging, it’s difficult to see the Son. You 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 He is right there with you, but when you can’t see Him and your faith is dwindling… 𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘰𝘩, 𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩.

To say I hit a low point is an understatement.

But, it’s often when we are at our lowest that God has the greatest work for us to do.

God wasn’t done with Elijah. And, He’s not done with you (or me!), either.

There is a purpose for you.

There is hope for you.

What doest thou here, friend?
