F.B. Meyer explores the fall of Elijah after his great victory over the prophets of Baal, highlighting the contrast between Elijah's faith and his subsequent fear of Jezebel's threats. Despite his previous triumph, Elijah succumbs to despair and flees into the wilderness, demonstrating the vulnerability of even the mightiest servants of God. Meyer emphasizes that Elijah's failure stemmed from exhaustion, loneliness, and a shift in focus from God to his circumstances. The sermon serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining faith and vigilance, even in the face of overwhelming challenges. Ultimately, it illustrates God's grace in not answering our desperate pleas for escape, as He has greater plans for us.
