Have you ever been in a situation where the odds seemed stacked against you? When you felt like you’d given it all you had, and you wanted to throw in the towel? Despite those feelings, God’s plans are greater than our discomforts, worries, disbeliefs, and fears. 

I invite you to read 1 Kings 19, and as you read, note the places where you empathize with Elijah. 

For me, it was Elijah’s feeling of wanting to throw in the towel. We’ve all felt the weight of the day-to- day grind. How much sweeter, then, are the moments when we hear God say to us like He did to Elijah, “Get up” and “Go out” (1 Kings 19:7, 11)? 

God doesn’t count us out. 

The fact that you’re reading this right now shows that no matter what else you’re facing in life, God’s voice is still guiding you. He gets what you’re going through, and He has not abandoned you. 

The next time you kneel, sit, or lay down … imagine the voice of God saying to you, “Get up.” He’s got you in this moment. And He’s got you in the next. So be ready for God to speak in ways you’d never expect.
