I could be wrong but what’s interesting to me personally is that Elijah wasnt just mad, he was scared for his life cuz there was a queen who wanted him dead so Elijah ran and told God he wanted to die because he was in such anguish
But God is so good and He always knows what we need!
Notice too that he didn’t even give Elijah some encouraging words to comfort him. He just told him to eat. Sometimes just being there and making sure someone gets through their anguish is enough.
AND THUS SPOKE THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
“Why don’t you have a some food and maybe you’ll feel better.“
And God said, “Have a Snickers.”
And Elijah inquired of the Lord, asking “Why?” and the Lord replied, “Because thou doth lament greatly when thou art hungry”.
Thus Elijah took and he ate of the confection, finding it to be exceedingly satisfying.
The Lord then asked, “Art thou better?”, and Elijah replied, “Indeed Lord, I am better”. Then the Lord further advised Elijah, saying unto him, “Thou art not thineself when thou art hungry”.
