This lesson story proves E lija h to
have been a man of like passions as
we are (Jas. 5 :1 7 ).
1. E lija h ’s Flig ht ( w . 1-14). Upon
Ahab's return from the excitement on
Mount Carmel, he told his w ife all
that E lijah had done— that even all
her prophets had been hewn to pieces
by the sword. This so enraged her
that she sent a message of death to
E lija h , who aeema to have been w ait
ing a t the gate (vv. 1, 2). This was
clearly a bluff on Jezebel's part.
Though
E lija h
had
courageously
stood before the king and the priests
o f Batil, he now cowered before this
woman and fled f o r his life. H e seems
to have failed at his strongest point.
1. E lija h under the Juniper tree
(vv. 3-7).
T he Juniper tree was n
shrub of the desert which afforded
sheller and protection to travelers
from the burning sun by day and th»
cold wind by night. (1 ) Hts request
(v. 4 ). This was that he might die
T his was. no doubt, a foolish thing for
him to say, but let us be as consld
erate toward him as was God. The
discouragement, and even desponden
cy, of E lija h was due to the nervou-
atraln of about four years of nniieun
service for God, which culminated
on M ount Carm el. Such nervous re
action Is to be expected. (2) God’
tender treatm ent (vv. 5-7). (a )

gave him sleep (v. 5 ).
"H e givetl
Ills beloved sleep” (I'sa. 127:2). (b 1

discouraged disciples by G alilee (John
2 1 :1 9 ).
God again gave him sleep
and at the proper tim e again gave him
food. Though E lija h wanted to d ie
God had something better fo r him
fo r In a later day H e met him with
the “chariot of the L ord” and took
him to heaven untouched by death.
2. E lija h at Hnreb (vv. 8-14).
(1 ) God's Interview w ith E lija h In
the cave (vv. 9. 10). (a ) God's ques
tlon (v. 9 ). "W h a t doeat thou here.
E lija h ? ” This was a stinging rebuke,
though most kindly given. I t Implied
that H is appointed messenger was
now fa r sway from the field of duty.
E lija h was not where God wanted him
but God sought him where he was
B qw blessed to know th a t "A Q °d
| forsaking saint Is not a Godforsaken
s a in t!” (b ) E lijah's answer (v. 10).
E lija h tried to vindicate him self by
asserting his Jealous loyalty to God—
that In spite of all this the people
had not only rejected his message
and dishonored God. but had sought
to destroy him
(2 ) God’s Interview
w ith E lijah on the Mount (vv. 11-14)
W h ile standing before the Lord on
the mount. God caused a mighty
! (demonstration of wind, enrthquakt
and fire to pass before him to show
■unto him the nature of the work whlcl
tie had been doing for God, and ti
show him w hat was lacking In hh
work fo r the fullest attainm ent o'
success. E lija h had about him mucl
o f the w hirlw ind, earthquake and fire
His work had been terrify in g am
alarm ing, but It lacked In gentleness
and love.
II. E lijah's
Return
(vv. 15-18)
Though
E lija h
had erred, Oort
brought him again Into His service
How comforting to know that God
does not reject His servants because
of th e ir failures in times of despon
denc.v! H e deals w ith them a fte r thi
motive of their hearts.
E lija h was
nourished and Instructed by the Lord
and then sent on a high mission. God
is a fine psychologist. He took ElIJa)
out of himself by giving him a new
commission. The most healing min
Istry Is that of work. Many bereaved
| ones have been lifted out of them
, selves by active m inistry to others.
Before God would come In H is charlol
j to take E lija h home. H e set him upon
u threefold m in is try :
1. To anoint Haznel king over Syria
(v. 15).
2. To anoint Jehu king over Israel
<v. 16).
3. To anoint Elisha as his own sue
cessor (vv. 19-21).
