Good on you.
You know, Elijah skipped church for a few months to recover from
burnout given to him by the people of God.
God took him to a Brook where he "pigged out" - ate and slept for days/
weeks on end. Because that is what he needed.
What he didn't need was fellowship that demanded emotional output.
What he didn't need was "opportunity for ministry".
What he didn't need was critical believers telling him he was
backsliding if he didn't go to church.
What he needed was time - by himself - not even God bothered him. He
didn't do devotions, and as far as we know didn't pray - the whole
time he was there.
He just slept and ate. slept and ate, slept and ate.
Until he had recharged enough to take on the must difficult task of
his ministry.
Hope you caught some good fish.
John B.
