ELIJAH/He Took Comfort in His God - "It Is Enough!"

 Should it be shocking to learn that a man of God could become so low in spirits? Not necessarily. A number of faithful men and women in the Bible record are described as feeling so sad that they wished  for death-among them Rebekah, Jacob, Moses, and Job. - GENESIS 25:22; 37:35; NUMBERS 11:13-15; JOB 14:13.

Today, we live in "critical times hard to deal with," so it is not surprising that many people, even faithful servants of God, find themselves feeling low at times.  (2 Timothy 3:1)  If you ever find  yourself in such a dire situation follow Elijah's example in this respect:  Pour out your feelings to God. After all, Jehovah is "the God  of all comfort." (Read 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.) Did he comfort Elijah?
