Quarter 3: Week 4: Wednesday: 1 Kings 17: 1-24 :
In this readging the Lord told Elijah to go east of the Jordan and drink from the brooke. He told him he would also be supplied with food. The ravens brought him food daily and the brook brought him the waterly need. Later the brook dried up from lack of rain. God told him to go to Zarephath and that a widow would supply his needs there. He went and asked a lady to get him water and bread. She could give the water, but told him she had not enough breed to share, for she had to feed herself and her son. He told her about how the Lord said she wouldn't run out of that stuff till rain comes to the land. So day by day the woman had enough to supply for her, her son, and Elijah. Later her son became ill, and got so bad that he breathed no longer. She got mad and asked why he came to remind her of her sins by killing her only son. Elijah brought him back to life, and she believed once more. Obeying and trusting God go together because in order to obey God, you need to trust Him, and in order to trust Him, you must obey Him.
