Picture the prophet Elijah, just after calling fire down from heaven in a magnificent display of Yahweh’s supremacy, a great and terrifying show of power that prompts the people to worship the Lord as God and seize the prophets of Baal to slaughter. Picture a man of God whose faith seems to move mountains. Triumphant? Hopeful? Courageous? Possibly. But after hearing Jezebel’s threat to kill him, Elijah’s faith seems to vanish. 1 Kings 19:3 records, “Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life.”
