Inner Nourishment for the Journey

1 Kings 19:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 19 in context

Scripture Focus

7And 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.
8And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
1 Kings 19:7-8

Biblical Context

Elijah is nourished by an inner provision—the angel's touch—enabling him to resume his journey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Elijah, within my consciousness, grows weary and hungry. The angel of the Lord is the inward impulse of Spirit, touching my mind and inviting me to feast on the truth I already hold. The journey that seems 'too great' is the long labor of belief, the steady attention required to move from fear to faith. When I accept the inner meal—recognizing that imagination sustains me—I rise and am fed. The nourishment is not merely bread and water but the conviction that I am the I AM, that the currents of Spirit carry me onward. In this state, forty days and forty nights symbolize persistent presence rather than time elapsed. I traverse to Horeb, the mount of God, where revelation occurs inside me. Providence appears as a pattern of inner assurance, and grace follows when I walk in awareness. Outer events become mirrors of an inner journey completed by faith and trust.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly; assume 'I AM nourished by divine inner sustenance.' Visualize a warm, nourishing meal filling you with strength, then proceed with the certainty that Providence guides your steps.
