Feasting on the Word

MARIAN J. COBB

"Arise and eat!" That angel voice Elijah heard
Anew I hear; and wakened by the call, God's Word
I take, and feed upon its promises of aid,
Resting on them until discouragement is stayed.
The wine I take, and break the holy bread
Which on Christ's table for my need is spread.
Then in their strength I journey onward through the night,
While revelation leads the way to Horeb's height;
What though full forty days and nights is the ascent!
I know that thus sustained I shall arrive unspent.
