"Arise and Eat" 10-8-06

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your Word and Your Spirit are my Light and my Strength. ... We've been studying the stories of Elijah in church. In the wilderness, You touched him and called to him, "Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you" (1 Kings 19:7). It seems I hear You saying, "Arise and eat. Come rise into My presence through your spirit in prayer. Come eat of My Word as I meet you there." Now it seems I hear Your Spirit singing to my spirit: "Arise, My son, arise! Come rise into My presence through your spirit in prayer. Arise, My son, arise! Come eat of My Word as I meet you there. Arise, My son, arise! Come follow my steps through this day. Arise, My son, arise! Come follow Me and I'll show you the way." Yes, Lord. You are a God who sings to my spirit with gladness and renews my spirit in love (Zephaniah 3:17). I thank You for the times of rest and renewal, and I thank you for the times of calling and commissioning to send me on in the light of Your Word and the strength of Your Spirit. "One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). Thank You for speaking Your words of life and truth to me today. Help me keep listening and obeying and You keep leading throughout this day. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
