Prophet Elijah: Standing Against the Tide

Elijah was called as a prophet by God to confront Ahab, Jezebel and the Baal-movement. He was used mightily in the confrontation between Yahweh and Baal (1Kings 18); but he faltered when it came to facing Jezebel. In the Elijah, we meet a normal human-being with a very stressful calling. He was bold with great authority and power, and yet experienced great fear and discouragement at other times.
