1 Ki 18:46 (NKJV)
βThen the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.β
In Scripture, the horse symbolizes speed, power, and advantage. Yet this passage reveals a higher reality: when the hand of the Lord comes upon a person, natural limits are overridden. Elijah did not compete with the chariot by strength; he moved by divine empowerment. Godβs intervention introduced a pace that nature could not explain or restrain.
Divinity does not cancel humanity; it elevates it.When God places His hand upon human effort, ordinary capacity is multiplied. What appears faster cannot outrun you, and what seems stronger cannot restrain you. Divine acceleration shifts outcomes, allowing Godβs purpose to overtake human systems and expectations.
When divinity accelerates humanity, superiority is no longer defined by resources or position. The true advantage is the Spirit of God at work within and upon a person. Therefore, do not fear what looks faster, stronger, or better equipped. The same God who empowered Elijah still empowers His people todayβcausing them not merely to run, but to overtake.
