Eliakim was given the authority to rule over Jerusalem. God gave him power, strength, and honour to govern with dignity and respect. However, he falls under the weight of Jerusalem's baggage and he can't handle it.
God gives us all we need to do well in life. Joy, perseverence, diligence, strength, rest, you name it. We may sometimes fall as well, especially when we don't end up relying on the Lord and instead rely on ourselves. Without the blessings of the Lord, how would you have gottten to where you are today? Even if we fall, God will pick us back up. Our sin will be atoned for and Satan will not be able to get a foothold on our lives when we have God as our support and rock.
