1 Kings 19:1-8
Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger 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 his life.
God's angel gave Elijah food and water , let him had strength on his way ran to Horeb.
Elation(歡欣鼓舞)passes. Spiritual and physical strain leave Elijah in the grip(抓住) of depression, fear, disappointment. Jezebel still holds the whip(鞭子) hand. Elijah escapes south to the desert and Sinai, drawing fresh strength from the food and drink provided by a practical angel.
Why?
Even like Elijah such great prophet and did great thing before the Lord, but he may weak and fear and lost spiritual strength. So as we may lose faith like Elijah even we had experienced the great things of the God. But God will help us like angel helped Elijah.
Do not forget the Lord always is my strength and fortress. Search for the Lord. He is my hope and helper.
How?
No matter what happened God is my strength and my hope. When I fear and weak, God is my savior and comforter.
