The Way to Overcome!

“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”
‘The One who remembered us in our low estate’ (Psalm 136:23) remembered Elijah had Peter in their lowest times. Elijah was suffering from burnout after fighting the victorious battle on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 19:4)
An angel of the Lord came and strengthened him, and God gave Him new vision and direction for his life. Peter also, in his ‘low estate’ had an angelic visitation when an angel rescued him the night before his execution.
You can learn from these examples that God remembers you in your human frailty when you are worn out in mind, body and spirit from the fatigue of spiritual warfare. When you are at the end of your rope, ‘tie a knot and hang on… help is on the way!’
God gets the greatest Glory when His servants come to the end of themselves and can only look up. Ask Him to strengthen you today in your weakness, for ‘His love endures forever’ (Psalm 136)
