I discuss the life of Elijah and how he ran away after his greatest victory, and want to quit for fear that he was alone. I will share how God strenghtened Elijah during of time of solitude and rest to allow Elijah to reflect on God's presence and power. This allowed Elijah to continue the work that God had called him to do as a prophet to the people of Israel.
