Example: 1 Kings 19:5-8, esp v.8. He went in the strength of that food 40 days and 40 nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.
It was heavenly food. It was spiritual food. The Word of God read and meditated upon, in our daily quiet time or family prayer or on some other occasion, becomes food for our spirit and food for our soul. It nourishes and strengthens us.
This verse 8 is not a direct promise (like Isaiah 41:10, 43:2, etc), but it becomes a promise when the Spirit speaks to us! Hold on to it.
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, and its subject is the Word of God. Read the Bible daily, have a Quiet Time with God, have family prayer, and study God’s Word on your own.
Elijah had a very long journey to make. He was a dispirited and crushed man (19:3,4). He was a man frail just like us (James 5:17). How wonderfully God reached out to him. He removed his despair, and gave him strength for the journey ahead - a very long journey in the desert sun. And he was commissioned for new tasks ahead.
God spoke to him in a still small voice. Do you hear that still small voice in your daily devotions? Don’t be carried away by false doctrines. God does not come by the intellectual route; He comes by His Word and His Spirit. So cast aside the intellectual junk that Calvinist Bible schools dump into your head. Cast aside all isms, Pentecostalism, Calvinism, etc.
Humble yourself before God. Come with a sincere heart. Say, Lord, speak to me, 1 Sam 3:9...and He will speak. Wonderfully!
