Abide Weekly: Week 2 | Eat and Rest First


Eat and Rest First
The prophet Elijah won the biggest victory of his life, then fled for his life and begged God to let him die. God’s first response wasn’t a lecture. He sent food and let Elijah sleep, twice (1 Kings 19). Often the thing standing between us and God’s voice is plain exhaustion.

THIS WEEK: Before you try to listen for anything, ask whether you’re tired, hungry, or running on empty. Take care of that first. Sometimes the faithful next step is a meal and an early night.
