經文：「你當走的路甚遠。」（王上19:7） 神是怎麼對待祂疲乏的僕人？給他好吃的食物，給他甜蜜的睡眠！以利亞曾經行了奇妙的神蹟，曾經奔跑超越亞哈的車子，所以他的身體非常疲憊；而疲憊的反應就是壓力。在此我們看見：身體的保養是必需的。直到今日，還有許多神的僕人所缺乏的就是睡眠和調養；也有許多屬靈的偉人都像以利亞一樣，在羅騰樹下求死！所以請聽這話語何等甘甜：「你當走的路甚遠，起來吃罷！」 譯｜荒漠甘泉讀書會

Scripture: "The journey is too great for thee" (1 King 19:7). And what did God do with His tired servant? Gave him something good to eat, and put him to sleep. Elijah had done splendid work, and had run alongside of the chariot in his excitement, and it had been too much for his physical strength, and the reaction had come on, and he was depressed. The physical needed to be cared for. What many people want is sleep, and the physical ailment attended to. There are grand men and women who get where Elijah was--under the juniper tree! and it comes very soothingly to such to hear the words of the Master: "The journey is too great for thee, and I am going to refresh you." Let us not confound physical weariness with spiritual weakness. ｜ Mrs. Charles Cowman
