1 Kings 19:7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat… Careless and cruel drivers often load their horses beyond their strength, and the poor creature tugs and pulls until he drops. Daring and foolish engineers will put too much pressure on their boilers, or try to force more power from an engine than it can provide. But our Master guarantees that tasks shall be balanCed with the precise strength we possess. He knoweth our frame: He remembereth that we are but dust. He knows the exact pressure we can stand. He knows the utmost load we can lift. He is a faithful Creator, because an abiding Sustainer. (Helps for Speakers.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. |
