Elijah's Amazing Journey - 1 Kings 19:7-9

The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you." So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. There he went into a cave and spent the night. 1 Kings 19:7-9

Running on empty. With only a meal supplied by God, Elijah set out on a forty day and forty night journey. God was obviously fueling Elijah in a special way. Nourishment comes in different forms. Food will sustain our physical bodies but our spiritual lives also need to be fed. Spiritual nourishment comes through study of Scripture and prayer. It prepares us to confront the challenges of each day with the mindset of God. Running on empty leaves us open to temptation and sin. So keep your tank filled so that you don't run out of gas before you reach your goal.
