What can this passage teach us? Elijah had just completed a huge, God-empowered victory over Baal. But now he was feeling threatened, despondent, and afraid. Have you experienced the highs and lows of spiritual warfare? Satan often attacks immediately after a “mountain high.” He lies to convince us we have not made any progress against evil. God sent messengers to provide for Elijah’s physical needs and to tell him what he was to do next. We see this pattern throughout the Bible. Do you recognize the angels God has sent? Are you aware of His loving care and guidance during the vertical and horizontal periods in life?
