His supernatural strength in such a time as this

40 is one of the significant numbers in the Bible. A number of probation, trial and testing. Elijah had 40 days of "trial" when he fled to Horeb, to the mountain of God, where God would then appear to him. God had well planned for his journey. First, He sent an angel to touch and wake him while he was asleep and prepared the food and drink for him. Elijah must have been weary so after eating he laid down and slept again. The angel of the Lord came the second time and offer him the same for him. The angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." As Elijah took the food, he was strengthened and traveled for 40 days and nights until he reached Horeb. 

It wasn't the end there. God did not appear to him right away. He had to stood strong in faith while he challenged the testing of a great and powerful wind, earthquake and fire. God weren't there, until a gentle whisper came where God would appear to him. 

His faith allowed him to stood the challenges while waiting for the Lord in times of such difficulties. In moments like this, God has promised his supernatural strength for us to overcome the trials. As He did for Elijah, He will do the same for us as well. Just come in obedience before Him and stand strong in faith! We will see great reward after that. Time of testings and trials are destined to come, but take heart, for we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us!

I can do everything through him who gives me STRENGTH!
