Are You Running Away Like Elijah Did?

Are you running away from God's calling because discouragement has set in? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church continues the series "How Are the Mighty Fallen," drawing from 1 Kings 19:3-4 (KJV) to show us how even the great prophet Elijah fell into discouragement, despair, and fear — and what that means for us today.You might be asking:- Why do I feel like quitting everything I once felt called to do?- Is it normal for a believer to feel this hopeless and alone?- How does discouragement lead to doubt and disbelief?- Does God still see me even when I feel like I am the only one left?Key points from this devotion:- Discouragement makes you careless and causes you to want to quit- Discouragement leads to despair, doubt, distrust, distraction, and dullness- Fear caused Elijah to run away from his assignment- You are never alone — God has always reserved others standing with you- God promises in Hebrews 13:5, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee"If this devotion blessed you, please like, leave a comment, and share it with someone who needs encouragement today.
