Elijah
WHEN WE THINK of Elijah, we never think of him as one who would doubt because he was strong and bold when he encountered the false prophets at Mount Carmel...
He proved that God was the true God of Israel, even to the wicked King Ahab.
He returned to Jezreel in such high spirits that he ran before the king's chariot. But once he met opposition from both Ahab and Jezebel, Elijah ran for his life in a different direction.
He even prayed to God to take his life because he was sure that he was the only faithful prophet left.
Elijah lived long ago, but he was so human. We are very much like him. When we are on a high, it is easy to praise God, and yet when our life takes a complete turn, we cry, "God, where are you?" Let us remember that God has not left us; we have distanced ourselves from Him. No matter what is going on today, run back to Him. Jewell Clarkston
