And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 6 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Kings. Jezebel threatens Elijah after the victory at Carmel, and the prophet flees into the wilderness. There, exhausted, he asks to die, but an angel provides him with food and water. The scene radically changes tone from the previous triumph: the victorious prophet now appears vulnerable and exhausted. God’s care precedes the new mission, showing that prophetic ministry also requires sustaining divine provision.
