After Elijah's victorious day on Mount Carmel, it seems very strange to find him running from Jezebel and crouching under a desert shrub wishing to die. Elijah's weak spot was his stomach. While Elijah was hungry and tired he was subject to the "blues," and a woman with a bad tongue in her head and a vicious temper could make him run like a whipped cur. The Lord knew this, and so he fed Elijah and gave him a chance to rest, and then he was as good as new. He went back again to make and unmake kings with all the courage of other days. When you are tempted to panic, find out where the weak spot is. Perhaps you have malaria, or dyspepsia, or liver complaint. Many a weak body has put to rout a strong soul. Be gentle to people tempted in that way - as God is.
