A Good Rest and A Good Meal
“Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you." from 1 Kings 19:7
Elijah was really in trouble this time. So much so that he was ready to give up and die. Everything he had built had been torn down. His friends had been put to death and he was supposed to be next. He was physically tired and emotionally exhausted.
The story reminds us that while we may be able to distinguish the body, mind, and spirit, in this life at least, there is no way to separate them. We have to care for every aspect of our person.
Before Elijah could hear God in the silence, before he was able to make his journey through the wilderness to a foreign land, he had care for himself physically.
Sleep replenished his body and mind. The meal gave him the strength to make the journey. Centuries later, Jesus himself would be called a drunk and a glutton by his critics. He was also known to take naps at unusual times.
Never underestimate the importance of a good rest and a good meal.
