=> Due to their lamps dimming the bowed down to the idol calf.
=> Let no one prevent your lamp from dimming up. Keep in the Lord for you to conquer.

"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning,

like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.
=> In our hearts for the lamp to keep burning need:
~ Prayers.
~ Studying the word of God.
~ Always at the service of the Lord.
~ Be like people waiting for the bride.
=> You only need to have the lamp fueled that it will light long.
1 Kings:19.4
while he himself went a day's journey into the desert. He came to a broom tree, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. "I have had enough, LORD," he said. "Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors."
1 Kings:19.5
Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat."
1 Kings:19.6
He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
1 Kings:19.7
The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."
1 Kings:19.8
So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
=> See another example of another person who his lamp was dimming though he was the most powerful prophet of the Lord. He felt lonely and abandoned but encouraged by the Angel of the Lord.
=> You should not have the self pity before the Lord in ypir prayers. Lather be bold in the Lord.
