You will fail and fall under a cause and king - the question is which one?
'I can't take it anymore!' - These were the words of a great prophet, to God himself. (Elijah, 1 Kings 19:4) Not only did God tenderly concede help to Elijah, but he 're-issued' him (so to speak!) in the person of John the Baptist (Mt 11:14), and also called him forth to appear with Jesus and Moses in the 'transfiguration'. (Mt 17:3) Some people's greatest victory is finally falling to the ground, like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, the last moments of eternal breakthrough. There is a crumbling under the weight of truth and life, that is different from crumbling under our own folly and dissipation. Men of God, over and over, weary of the battle between light and darkness, fell to their knees and 'could not take it anymore'. These men, dear fighters, will rise to greatness. (Hebrews 11; Exodus 33; Matthew 11:1-11; Luke 12:8-9) Whose battle do you fight with all your vigor? Whose cause is your life's cause? 'Jesus said, 'The greatest commandment is this, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.’ (Matthew 22:36-40)
