"Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there" 1Kings 19:3
I was reading the story of Elijah yesterday and this morning, and I learned something about him: he was scared of dying by the hands of man. He ran away and hid when Jezebel threatened to take his life for killing Baal's prophets. If there was a way he wanted to die, it would be by God's hand because everyone dies eventually. He was so scared of Jezebel's threat that he begged God to kill him early. I find it ironic how the guy who was so deathly afraid of death was one of the very few people in all of history who never died. I guess it was God's great grace.
