~Down But Not Out~

~Sue Hudgins~
After the victory on Mt. Carmel,
Elijah became despondent.
Jezebel had threatened his life.
And he was no longer confident.

Elijah fled to the wilderness
And sat under a juniper tree.
He asked God to take his life,
But God would not grant this plea.

The angel of the Lord came
And gave him meat and drink.
He arose and went to Horeb.
There he could rest and think.

When God spoke in a still small voice,
Elijah knew he was not defeated.
Then God sent him on his way
With other jobs to be completed.

He anointed Hazael and Jehu;
He anointed Elisha too.
Elijah realized at last
That he had more work to do.

At times we feel defeated,
And we feel we are alone.
But we must remember
That God is upon His throne!

So when you feel beaten,
Just get a second wind.
Keep looking to Jesus for help.
He is your very best friend!
