“And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.” 1 Kings‬ ‭19:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬. In this passage the prophet Elijah is at the lowest point in his life. Weary, discouraged and running for his life, he had finally fallen asleep. Yet even there, God sends His angel, sends Heavenly provision for His servant, and prepares him for what lies ahead. There are times in our lives when we become weary in well doing. Things don’t seem to make sense and the road ahead is unclear. But let us be sure, our Lord sees the path before us! And He encourages us to rise up and partake of what our soul needs so desperately. In these times, we need the manna of God’s Word more than ever! We need to open our hearts to partake of this spiritual nourishment that our Father provides. In the Word, we see Jesus, Who is the Bread of Life. Through the Word, we receive strength for all that lies ahead. Perhaps today, the way before you seems dark and uncertain? Let us be sure, that our Father sees the path before us and He is preparing us. Let us rise and partake of what God has given to us in His Word.
