Elijah experiences great success on a mountain but then falls into a depression in the wilderness. The wilderness can cause fear from a lack of trust, exhaustion from overwork, and turning to self-medication instead of God. However, in the wilderness we can learn that God satisfies, provides, and restores. God sends food, help, and comfort. The wilderness leads to humility, revelation about ourselves and God, and intimacy with God. Ultimately it drives us to depend fully on God.
