Standing Still

"That was the last straw." 

"I've had as much as I can handle."

"I'm at the end of the rope."

Have you ever felt what these phrases convey? In 1 Kings 19, Elijah, the mighty prophet of God gets to that point. He is on the run - running from Jezebel, running from God, and running on empty. I love this passage because if Elijah can get to that point it encourages all of us when circumstances are draining. 

Elijah learns a big life lesson that sometimes we have to stand still. God's voice to Elijah was not in a fire, earthquake, or wind; it was in a still, small whisper.
