Topic: When Death Looks Profitable.
Text: 1Kings 19:4-8, Psalms 34:18.
27/08/26.
Life is a journey of ups and downs, falling and raising. It is also a life trial. What are you going through now? Are you in a straight, thinking the best way out is death? Wait a minute to see and know that there are moments when life becomes so painful, disappointing, or overwhelming that death may appear to be the easiest escape. Even Elijah, a mighty prophet of God, reached such a point. He sat under a tree and asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life” (1 Kings 19:4).
But God did not condemn Elijah. Instead, He gave him rest, food, encouragement, and a new assignment. Elijah thought his journey was over, but God was not finished with him. Don't give up on yourself, what you are going through now might just be a transition.
Learn to hear God's side of your story. Never make a permanent decision because of a temporary pain. What looks like the end may only be a difficult chapter. Your present situation does not determine your final destiny. For your condition is not your conclusion. Don't give up that dream, don't leave that business or marriage because it seems not to be working. Just hang on and wait on God- Ecclesiastes 3:10 "I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it." 3:11 "He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
God is surely working out something for you.Wait for Him and wait on Him .
God is near to the brokenhearted — Psalm 34:18.
God gives strength to the weary — Isaiah 40:29–31.
There is hope beyond your present trouble — Romans 8:18.
God has plans for your future — Jeremiah 29:11.
Your life belongs to God — 1 Corinthians 6:19–20.
When death looks like the best way out, look again to God. There may be another way that you cannot see yet.
The pain may be real, but it is not the end of your story. God still has a purpose for your life.
Prayer 🤲:
Father, when I become overwhelmed and feel that life is no longer worth living, remind me that You are with me. Give me strength for today, hope for tomorrow, and grace to continue. Let Your light shine into every dark place of my heart. Help me to trust that You are not finished with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Shalom.
