Simple Words

The Children's Sermon at church this morning... inspired.
The sermon was about getting renewed - by YHWH - through taking a much-needed pause
  • after a big event/change;
  • before moving on to whatever God is calling us to next.
The text was 1 Kings 19:4-8:
Elijah laying down beneath a broom tree,
sleeping,
being made to eat G0d-given bread,
sleeping some more, eating some more,
before heading to mount Horeb to hear God's still, small voice.

The Children's Sermon: sometimes God makes breakfast for us too. God gives us the nourishment we need. If we stop to eat it. That simple.
Today, I was definitely in need of breakfast. And it came through the nourishment of a Children's Sermon. Thanks for the message, Jake J.! And thanks for the breakfast, Spirit.
