Elijah was distressed
Playback speed
Queen Jezebel demanded Elijah’s life as a result of the events at Mt Carmal. Though Baal was exposed as a false god, man’s invention, Jezebel out of rage demanded Elijah pay with his life. Elijah became distressed because he took his sight of the Lord and feared Jezebel’s wicked plans. Therefore, believer we to can become distressed and anxious when we think of the fear of man instead of fear and power of God.

Elijah’s situation Changed
From the victory and blessing of Mt Carmal to the valley of despair as Jezreel, Elijah’s situation had changed. His life was now in danger as Jezebel demanded his life, as the worship to Baal was exposed as false worship. Elijah for a moment focus more on Jezebel’s plan, instead of the KING of Kings power. Likewise, believer, our situation will change at some point, we must keep our mind focused upon the Lord and His great power to give help, comfort and victory when that change takes place.
What are you doing here, Elijah? (with regards to lodging)
The Lord challenged Elijah as to why he was dwelling in a cave when he had been called to service. Elijah allowed distractions and discouragements as the reason to remain in the cave instead of going forward for God.
Elijah answers the Lord
Elijah once had a zeal for the name of the Lord and lived to honour him. But he allowed Jezebel’s cruel words to play on his mind, and he became discouraged.
