Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-21

After leading an incredible, public, mountain top victory for the LORD on Mt. Carmel, Elijah quickly falls from the peak of his career to the lowest point of his career. In the three stories contained in 1 Kings 19 we observe Elijah despair of life itself, surrender to feelings of defeat and even disobey God. Nevertheless, despite Elijah’s sour mood and misgivings, we learn that God’s purposes still prevail.
