Then the LORD gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahabโs chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.
(1 Kings 18:46, NLT)
1 Kings 18:46 KJV
And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

In todayโs Scripture, the prophet Elijah had just defeated the 450 prophets of Baal who supported King Ahab, and no doubt he was exhausted. Yet it says that GOD gave him the special strength to outrun Ahabโs chariot over the twenty-mile journey to Jezreel. That chariot represented Ahabโs power, and itโs not possible for a man to outrun a horse even over a short distance. GOD was showing Ahab that His power was so far superior to anything Ahab had.
You may look at what youโre up against today and feel that you donโt have the strength, the endurance, the fortitude to keep battling. Maybe itโs cancer, or an addiction, or a situation in your family. No, get ready. GOD is not going to let you stay feeling overwhelmed. Right now, He is breathing special strength into you. When you have special strength, youโre going to overcome what looks impossible, youโre going to accomplish dreams that seem too far gone. Youโre about to outrun some chariots.

Father, thank You that You are Jehovah Jireh, the LORD my Provider for whatever I need. Thank You that You are breathing special strength into me to help me overcome all the situations that are coming against me. I believe that You will give me the power to outrun a chariot. In JESUSโ Name, Amen.
Good morning .
