In a world where more is a possibility, we need to learn how to handle our own successes. Ecclesiastes 5:10 says, “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.”

There is a satisfaction that cannot be bought at a store or parked in our driveway. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Matthew 5:6 (ESV)

"Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown" 1 Corinthians 9:25 CSB

"As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God." 2 Timothy 4:6

Sadly, Elijah has wandered into the "valley of the shadow of death." Worse, he isn't sure if God will or can come through. He isn't looking for a way out... he is looking for a place to die.

Fear mongering is a type of psychological warfare. Our enemies will try to manipulate us and change our behavior by creating fear, uncertainty, and anxiety.

"Pray at all times in the Spirit" Ephesians 6:18 (CSB)

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." Proverbs 25:11

There are no other words more fitly spoken than the Word of God

Like the British, we need to "mind the gap". Whenever a gap exists between what we believe or do and the Word of God, it is worth paying attention to.
