None of us are completely immune to fear. Fear is an amazing motivator. In today’s reading, we will see that even the most proficient prophet of God had times of fear. Elijah was a true prophet of God working in the idolatrous and rebellious nation of Northern Israel. Through him God did awesome miracles and confronted the king and queen of Israel. Queen Jezebel has gone down in history as a powerfully evil and murderous woman. Jezebel refused to relent, even after God had shown Himself more powerful than her gods at the confrontation on Mt. Carmel. She was after Elijah’s life, and he ran away, fast and far. Fear can make us act in rash
and unwise ways, but today’s reading shows us how merciful God is. He not only takes care of Elijah’s physical needs, He also takes time to speak to Elijah and calm him. God has saved us, because He is good! God is our Shepherd, our Keeper, our Help, and our Shield. We do not need to live in fear.

Political leaders come to power in a variety of ways. Ancient Israel was a monarchy. This means that the king would either be born or would take the throne by force.
