Yesterday in church, we heard the story of Elijah fleeing from Queen Jezebel after he had killed all the false prophets of Baal and the Queen threatened his life (1 Kings 19). After he got away, he laid down under a tree and wished to die. God fed him - twice. Gave him food and drink that sustained him for 40 days and 40 nights!
I was talking to one of my members afterwards, who told me the meaning of this story (that he himself had heard from someone else):
When you're tired, despairing, frightened, ready to quit . . .
"take a nap, have a snack, and get back to work!"
Now that's great advice! :-)
