Key Words: and turned away his face, and would eat no bread
Ahab is the king of Israel; he supposedly is grown and is by age a “full” adult. Now here he is pouting. While kids will be kids sometimes those who are supposed to be adults are kids as well. There are several character traits of an “immature children adult.”
- They expect others to wait on them (serve them).
- They would rather play than work.
- They get their feelings hurt easily.
- They expect most of the attention.
- They cry and whine easily.
- They will not feed themselves “spiritually”.
- They expect the pastor and staff to feed them.
- They only think of themselves.
