I see a lot of myself in Elijah. Just in the previous chapter, God had manifested himself in providing fire for the sacrifice and defeating Baal. When he is then threatened by Jezebel, who swears by the same powerless Baal, he runs for his life and asks God to kill him. Two important lessons: Miracles don't necessarily save us. Satan uses the opportunity of miracles to try and cast greater doubt in out souls. But praise God for His grace, He never leaves us. In His mercy He doesn't slay Elijah as per His request but ensures he is well fed and sends him back to the ground. When in distress, count your blessings, think of how God has led you in the past, for only then will your eyes be opened to see how much God still surrounds you and His angels minister to you.
