“他躺在那棵罗腾树下，睡着了。忽然有一位天使拍他, 说：“起来，吃吧！””
列王纪上 19:5
“He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat.””
1 Kings 19:5
After Elijah triumphed over the false prophets on Mount Carmel, Jezebel sent word that she would capture and kill him, and he despaired, longing to die. But then he enjoyed a good sleep and was twice visited by an angel who gave him food to eat. After God renewed his physical strength, he was able to continue with his journey.
When the “journey is too much” for us (v. 7), we might need to rest and enjoy a healthy and satisfying meal. For when we are exhausted or hungry, we can easily succumb to disappointment or fear.
Looking back, when have you needed to slow down and receive sustenance before pressing on?
Creator God,
You formed us as Your people. Thank You for our limitations, which remind us that You’re God and we’re not.
