God forbid that we should sit In Judgment upon this heroic, brave, faithful servant at God. Rom. X:L But in humility and faith we may‘learn some lessons from his failure and thereby strengthen ourselves sgaioat like feat. 1 Cor. 10:11-1*-- Tbe causes of

Elijah’s flight were:

(1) Physical reaction. Tbe Journey from Zarephath and the events on Mount Carmel caused physical and nervous exhaustion, which was followed by great weakness and depression. The place for Elijah was not at Jezreel but alone somewhere with tGod whore he could receive spiritual and phyelcal reviving. Tbe place for the servant of God always, after a service haa been splendidly rendered, is apart from the busy throng and alone wdth Jesus. Elijah's first misstep was that run to jezreel. Having done all he should have stood and left results with God. (X) Elijah overestimated tbe effect of Mount Carmel's revival. He went a step farther than God led him and figured on reeulu. and when expectations failed, discouragement came Elijah went to Jezreel in greet elatka&nf spirit
