So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days. 16There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah.

Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt18:46 Hebrew He bound up his loins. and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.

“I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to be obedient to your quiet voice and trust in your plan. Give me strength to endure the attacks of the world and strength to continue moving forward in your desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
