Commentary on 1 Kings 19:13

Theological / Devotional

Wrapped his face. Elijah instinctively covered his face before the presence of God. His ruffled spirit was calmed, his impatience subdued. The high-strung, impetuous prophet became meek and submissive, ready to listen to the voice of the Lord. “In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isa. 30:15). Not by bringing down fire from heaven, not by putting to death the prophets of Baal, but by a quiet work in which the Spirit of God would soften and subdue the hardened hearts of sinners, would Elijah see his greatest results secured in service for God, but by the quiet working of the Holy Spirit.
