1 King 19:1-8
Jezebel sent a message to Elijah to say, "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them."
Elijah was afraid and ran for this life.
Elijah was tired and prayed to the Lord under a broom tree,"I have enough, Lord" he said "Take my life; I am not better than my ancestor."
The angle called him when he slept under the tree, angle prepared a cake of bread baked over hot coals and a jar of water. The angle woke Elijah twice and gave him cake and water.
Elijah ate and drank, strengthened by the food, he walked 40 days and 40 nights, he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
Why?
Elijah was afraid for Jezebel will kill him, how weak Elijah was, even he did so wonderful work from the Lord. Elijah is a man, he might loss his faith and strength.
This frustrated is came when lost hope, and he forgot that the Lord is still with him.
God arranged angle gave food and water to Elijah, helping Elijah restore his faith and his strength. The gave Elijah two important elements food and sleeping, let Elijah completely restore his physical strength.
Went of Horeb mountain is far away from Jezebel and there is the mountain of God.
How?
When I am frustrated in any situation, remember the Lord is always with me. Go far away place, let me have peace time with the Lord. We need some peaceful and relax time to restore our spiritual life.
