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 ) H * 1 gave him sleep (v. 5 ). "H e givetl Ills beloved sleep” (I'sa. 127:2). (b 1 H e sent an angel to cook E lijah .- meal (vv. 6, 7 ). T he angel o f the Lord Is usually understood to lie the se> ond member of the Holy T rin ity . II this be correct, then we see Jehovah Jesus preparing food for His servei E lija h , ns H e a fte rw a rd did for Ho 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.
