DAY 14
Rest
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But
He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not
be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who
lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.
Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”
REVELATION 1:17–18
You have made it two weeks – that is fantastic! I know that it has probably
been a little bit of a roller coaster – with some really good days, and
some not so really good days. Believe me, we have all been going through
them. I am so excited you have chosen to stick with it though. Today is
a day to Rest – don’t focus on anything but the power and majesty of the
King and Rest in Him.
Let’s come back to 1 Kings 18-19 once again. To refresh our memory,
Elijah has just seen God defeat the prophets of Baal. Jezebel threatened
to kill Elijah, and instead of standing firm with confidence, he ran away,
filled with fear. 1 King 19:4 says that he went a day into the wilderness,
sat down by a bush and prayed that he might die. He was exhausted and
wanted and end to all that he was experiencing. But, God was not done
with him yet, and sent an angel to give him food and water. Twice the
angel told him to eat and drink because the journey was too much for
him. In the midst of all of that, God provided for his servant. He allowed
him the chance to eat, drink, and sleep, so that he might be rested for
the journey that was coming. God was already aware of the fact that the
trip was going to be more than Elijah could bare, yet God still provided.
