It is easy to be afraid of those who want to take your life and to have self-pity, but by praying, praising and worshiping God Jehovah, our spirits are lifted higher and we can overcome the fleshes weaknesses in the name of Jesus! Jezebel was later killed and eaten by dogs...so God did protect Elijah by getting rid of this evil woman and all the idols and those who did the worshipping of them! God is a jealous God and He will not have anyone or any idols before Him and He will not be mocked! God is all powerful and satan has only the power that God allows him to have as the ruler of this world right now, but he will come to his end along with all his wicked and sinful followers and be cast into the Lake of Fire! When I am down, I just remember what God has already done for me and what He will still do and that helps me get through any problems or depression I may be facing! I know my Savior and Lord is Jesus and I will not honor nor worship any other god nor man! Amen! One thing I couldn't understand for a long time is why God had the children killed but my sister-in-law, Wanda, told me that He had to get rid of all the bad seed and that was by killing the children, too! Sounds cruel but God always knows what He is doing and it is always for the best for His people! Ma Betty
