"The Top of the Feather" 1 Kings 19:1-8 Everybody reaches their 'breaking point" sooner or later. Even the great prophet, Elijah came to his breaking point when he was threatened by the evil Jezebel. The reason Elijah reached his breaking point was because his focused changed from God to Jezebel. We are able to persevere through our struggles when we keep our focus on God rather than on our problems.
