Isn’t Elijah a lot like us? Didn’t the brother of our Lord declare “Elijah was a man of like passions as we are”. James 5:17.

1) Don’t think you can walk it alone!
2) Everyone must take a break! (remember the Sabbath)

PASTOR TIM
Does corruption rise within your spirit, and grace seem like a poor spark trampled under foot? Does your faith almost fail you? Fear not, it is neither your graces nor feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith on Christ. With all these things against us, now-in the very depths of our sorrow, wherever we may be now, whether on the mountain or in the valley.. be encouraged !! “Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” SPURGEON
