11.24 Evening:

What doest thou here, Elijah?

He knoweth the way that I take.―O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. . . .Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? . . . If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are.―The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.―Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.―A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again.

Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.―The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.―Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

1Ki 19:9 Job 23:10 Ps 139:1-3,7,9,10 Jas 5:17 Pr 29:25 Ps 37:24 Pr 24:16 Ga 6:9 Mt 26:41 Ps 103:13
