Elijah seems bigger than life in 1 Kings 17 and 18. He confronts kings, pray effectively for a three and one half year drought, faces off against 450 prophets of Baal and successfully calls on God to bring fire from heaven to consume his sacrifice at Mt. Carmel.
But within a day of his biggest victory he is running for his life - depressed and terrified!
The scriptures are telling us this so that we will be sure to realize Elijah is not a superman. We can learn from his collapse as well as from his victories.
