Eat what God has prepared - Audio

We are all on a journey. It is the journey of life. On life’s journey we have to deal with life as we meet it. We cannot go back and change that which happened in the past. We must look toward the future and deal with the journey that is before us. None of us can make it on this journey by ourselves; we must have divine assistance. God knew what was to happen to Elijah before it happened, and He had a plan in motion to deal with this particular point in his life. Life is never a straight line between two points. There will be hills, valleys and mountains that must be overcome. Life is never stress free. Life can quickly turn from victory to defeat with alarming suddenness. The chapter 18 of 1 Kings sees Elijah in the midst of a great victory, but chapter 19 has him at one of the lowest points in his life. Bro. Hughes points out that because of this journey, it is dangerous to react to a particular moment in life. Elijah reacted to a moment in his life, and asks God to take his life. If we read about Elijah, we see that he was not a man who reacted to life, but who acted with a purpose.

Rather than rebuking Elijah, God provided a meal for him. The meal that God provided Elijah was enough to sustain him for 40 days and 40 nights. Bro. Hughes tells us that we need to take what God provides for us because He knows the journey ahead of us and whatever He provides will sustain us. We are not lost in our journey. God knows where we are and He has already made provision for us. When we eat the meat that God provides, we will it will change our focus and will get our eyes off those things that are trying to destroy our life, and fix them on God’s plan. If we eat what God provides, it will take us further than we thought we could go and bring us to the place that God wants us to be.
