Know what you need

Morning: Psalm 68; 1 Kings 19:9–18; Ephesians 4:17–32
When Jesus feels stretched to his limit, he knows he needs quiet and so withdraws to be alone. The crowd wants more food, but Jesus seeks power from beyond himself to fuel his astounding mission. He steps aside from activity to restore his inner strength. Jesus invites us also to seek (from him) spiritual ‘food’ to sustain us for the long haul. Know your limits. Know your needs. Do not be fooled into thinking that a feast – even a fine feast – will satisfy your soul’s hunger. For it is futile to seek a cure for spiritual hunger in the fridge!
