In 1 Kings 20, Ahab had just faced a major battle—but verse 22 hits hard: ‘Strengthen yourself and prepare for the next attack.' Sometimes we think the worst is over, but God sees the battles ahead and prepares us—not to survive, but to overcome. Maybe you feel like you've barely made it out of one fight, and now you're facing another. But God isn't trying to wear you down—He's building you up. His instruction isn't a warning of doom, it's a call to readiness. Your past loss doesn't cancel your future victory. Let this verse remind you: Even when you feel weak, God is equipping you. Even when you've been hit, God is still with you. This isn't the end—it's the proving ground for your next win.
