God Didn’t Call Him Lazy (He Gave Him a Snack)

Sometimes, you aren't lazy. You are empty. 📉 I know people will say, "But Michael, I have depression," or "I'm burnt out." I hear you, and so does the Bible. In this video, we look at 1 Kings 19 and the story of Prophet Elijah. After fighting battles and outrunning chariots, he crashed under a broom tree and wanted to give up. Watch how God responded: He didn't send a lecture on laziness. He sent an angel with a snack and a nap. 🍞💤 The crucial difference: • Rest is refueling so you can get back in the fight (Restoration). • Rot is eating snacks and napping to avoid the fight forever (Escape). Elijah didn't build a house under that tree. He rested, then he moved on. Which one are you doing today? 👇 Discussion: Be honest: Are you in a season of "Broom Tree" rest, or have you slipped into avoidance/rot? Let me know in the comments.
