1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Let us pray, and it came to pass after a 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: while that the brook dried up because there had been 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: no rain in the land. First King seventeen seven. Dear God, 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: when there is a drought in the world and recessions 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: in our economy, I will look to you to provide 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: for myself and those I love, like you did for 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: the prophet Elijah by the brook in the same miraculous manner. 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: I thank you that, like the ravens you sustain, you 9 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: will nourish me through miraculous connections and divine relationships. Place 10 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: an internal clock within me to know when it's time 11 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: to move on to the next season of my journey. 12 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: As I move in obedience, give me the faith to 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: move as the widow did, knowing that if God said it, 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: he will be faithful to perform it. Even when my 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: dre seem like they're dying. I thank you that when 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: I call upon your name, you will resurrect what seemed 17 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: to be dead and breathe new life into the promises 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: in my life. In Jesus name, Amen, thank you for 19 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: praying with us today. Continue your time with God by 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: listening to today's Bible story brought to you by Bible 21 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: in a Year dot. 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 2: Com Elijah and the Draft. In our last story, we 23 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: were introduced to more kings of Judah. Abijah ruled with 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: a brutal fist and sinful arrogance. His son Atha ruled 25 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: with the fear of God and a righteous heart. Atha 26 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: was able to topple idols in Judah and bring the 27 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: people of God back to their first love. Israel, however, 28 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: was still descending into the pit of idle worship and despair. 29 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: Now we are introduced to a dominant force for the 30 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: Kingdom of God, Elijah. He showcases the beginning of a 31 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: cosmic battle between the true God of Heaven and Earth 32 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: and the false God bel Elijah is able to witness 33 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 2: the true control and discipline of the Lord, as well 34 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: as his provision over the faithful. Inspired by the Book 35 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: of First Kings. 36 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm Jack Graham with today's episode of the Bible 37 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 3: in a Year podcast. In our last episode, we heard 38 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: about King Asa, who, unlike his father and grandfather, was 39 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: a man who sought God. He sought God's favor and 40 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: acted faithfully towards the Lord. He removed idols and banished 41 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: the cult worship of false gods from Judah. Asa was 42 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: a good king, and through his leadership and legacy, the 43 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: people's hearts turned back to the Lord to the north 44 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: of Judah. However, the people's hearts were still very far 45 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: from God. And as we'll learned today, God was about 46 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: to do great things through a man named Elijah, a 47 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 3: prophet who would contend on God's behalf with the rampant 48 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: worship of bail in Israel. Elijah is a powerful prophet 49 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: from God, and he will stand true in a faithless generation. 50 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: How thankful we are for the story of Elijah. Let's 51 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: begin listening now to God's word. 52 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: A dry wind was scratching across the ground of Israel. 53 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: Plans became blighted and began to wither under the heat. Elijah, 54 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: a chosen man of God, looked upon the destitute land 55 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: with sorrow. He saw the flowers beginning to curl up 56 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: and pass into the ground. He witnessed the livestock lose 57 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: their luster and slow down into a pause. The Lord 58 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: spoke closely into his ear. There will be no rain 59 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: until I give the word, God whispered. Elijah turned away 60 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: from the fields and walked towards the palace gates. He 61 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: needed to relay the message to Ahab, king over Israel. 62 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: Elijah opened the doors into Ahab's halls. The blighted wind 63 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: blew violently. As he opened the doors, sand made its 64 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: way inside. Ahab sat among some of his counselors. He 65 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: looked up at Elijah and listened to the word of God. 66 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: Once Elijah was finished, he left silently and awaited a 67 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 2: word from the Lord. Venture forth towards the east. God 68 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: told him hide underneath the tree covering beside the brook 69 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: of Carith, drink from the brook and eat the food 70 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 2: I bring you. I will send ravens to give you food. 71 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: So Elijah camped beside the brook for a long while. 72 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: He sat beside the waters. The shade of the trees 73 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 2: and coolness of the water protected him from the hot 74 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: winds coursing through Israel. The Lord provided for him. Ravens 75 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: brought him food daily, and Elijah sat in the presence 76 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: of God, soaking in his goodness. The two were close, 77 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: as David once was with God. In the wilderness. Elijah 78 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: watched the brook as the weeks passed. Since there was 79 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: no dew or rainfall, the river began to dry up. 80 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: There was no more protection for him God came to 81 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: Elijah again. He spoke clearly and tenderly, saying, go to 82 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: the village of Zaraphath. I have spoken to a widow 83 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: who lives there. She will provide for you. So Elijah 84 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 2: went and arrived at the gates just as God had said. 85 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: A widow was in the front, gathering sticks for her fire. 86 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: Elijah smiled and said, would you be able to spare 87 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: a little water. The widow grinned and agreed. She gathered 88 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 2: some water. Would you be able to spare some food 89 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: as well? Elijah asked. Its grin turned upside down, her 90 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: shoulders slumped, and her lips were parsed together. I swear 91 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: by the Lord, I have not one crumb of bread 92 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: to give you. Her lips began to quiver, and she 93 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: put her hands over her face. Elijah watched as the 94 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: widow began to cry. I have a handful of flour 95 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: and a little cooking oil at the bottom of my chug. 96 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: The sticks I was gathering was to make a fire. 97 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: The woman raised her eyes to Elijah and said, this 98 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: is going to be my son's last meal before he dies. 99 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: Elijah placed his hands on her shoulders. He looked her 100 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: in the eyes and smiled, saying, fear not, go and 101 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: prepare your bread. Make some bread for all three of us, 102 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: and we will witness the faithfulness of God. So the 103 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: widow prepared the bread. She added water to the flower 104 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: and began to bake the mix. To a surprise, the 105 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: dough expanded far beyond her expectation. The widow watched as 106 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 2: she had enough bread to feed all three of them 107 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: for weeks. The three of them ate and rejoiced in 108 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: the provision of God. Weeks had passed. Elijah, the widow, 109 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: and her son had feasted in the glory of God. However, 110 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: the woman's son became very sick. His fever became unmanageable, 111 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: and his body began to fade. Finally, with great struggle, 112 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 2: the boy passed. Elijah was broken, and the widow was unconsolable. 113 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: The woman cried out to Elijah, saying, O, Man of God, 114 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: what have you done to me and my boy? It 115 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: is you who has killed my son. Elijah said nothing, 116 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: as the woman wailed before him. She beat her fists 117 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 2: on his chest and fell to her knees. Elijah looked 118 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: to the boy's body and walked towards it. He picked 119 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: him up and carried him upstairs into the upper room 120 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: of the house. He laid the child down. Tears dripped 121 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: down his face and landed beside the boy's lifeless body. 122 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: Elijah sobbed and laid over him. Muffled prayers could be 123 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: heard from Elijah, My God, why have you brought tragedy 124 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: to this woman? She has shown me kindness. Elijah stretched 125 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: his body over the child, crying out to the Lord. Please. 126 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: Elijah whispered, let him live. And as Elijah was speaking, 127 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: he felt the boy's arm twitch. Elijah leaped up to 128 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: his feet as he watched, the boy's chest began to 129 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: rise and fall. God had breathed life into him. The 130 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: widow was still on the floor downstairs. She heard screaming 131 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: from the upper room as Elijah yelled. Elijah rushed down 132 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: the stairs holding the child, yelling, he lives, he lives. 133 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 2: The three of them rejoiced. Elijah was able to witness 134 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: the power and provision of God in the midst of 135 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: a famine. It would be these events that strengthened his 136 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: resolve to follow God. Elijah would not bend in his 137 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: faithfulness to him. Many battles awaited Elijah, and God would 138 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: require him to stand. 139 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: As we begin the scripture today, we're introduced to a 140 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: name that is going to be a well known great 141 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: name in the Word of God. A man who walked 142 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: with the Lord. A powerful prophet. Elijah received a message 143 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 3: from the Lord that he delivered to Israel's king Ahab. 144 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: The land was about to be plunged into devastating drought. 145 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: The rains would cease, and the clouds would not release 146 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: their nourishing waters until God gave word for the rain 147 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: to return. And with that Elijah departed, led by God 148 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: to the east, where he was hidden by the brook Carath. 149 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: As David had written in his most famous psalm, Elijah 150 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: experienced the hand of God leading him beside still waters, 151 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: providing for his physical needs as he drank from the 152 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: brook and ate food brought by ravens God had sent him, 153 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: but also providing for his spiritual needs and preparing him 154 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: for big spiritual battles. Never forget that God will always 155 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: provide for our needs in every circumstances, that He makes 156 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: provision for us, and that He provides for what we need, 157 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: just as he did Elijah when we obey him. After 158 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: some time, the brook Careth dried up, because the drought 159 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: was intense. So God sent Elijah to the town of Zaraphath, 160 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 3: telling him there was a widow there whom God had 161 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: told to feed the prophet. Just as God had said, 162 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: there was indeed a widow there that lived with her son. 163 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 3: Elijah asked her for water, and she gladly brought him 164 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: the water. But when Elijah asked for a morsel of bread, 165 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: the woman became very sad. For you see, the famine 166 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: and drought had devastated the land, and this woman had 167 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: no food to give, no food to spare. She told 168 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 3: Elijah that the little bit of flour and oil that 169 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: she had was only enough for her and her son 170 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 3: to eat a final meal before they died. Iijah would 171 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 3: not be deterred because God had provided for him at 172 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: the brook. He trusted God to provide for him now 173 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: as well. He told the woman not to fear or 174 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: to be sad, but to go and do as she 175 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: had planned. To make a fire, but Elijah said she 176 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 3: was to make a small cake of flour and oil 177 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: for him, then make some for herself and her son. 178 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: Then he said to her what we read in First 179 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 3: King seventeen, verse fourteen. For thus says the Lord, the 180 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 3: God of Israel. The jar of flower shall not be spent, 181 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 3: and the jug of oil shall not be empty until 182 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: the day that the Lord sends rains upon the earth. 183 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 3: Elijah was inviting this woman to join him in trusting 184 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: God for a miracle. The small amount of flour and 185 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: oil was just that, pitifully small, not enough for even 186 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 3: one person, let alone three. But God always richly supplies 187 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 3: everything to us, especially those of us who are in 188 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: Christ Jesus. And God was promising to provide that from 189 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: a small amount. There is an inexhaustible supply until rain 190 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: would return to Israel. And God will supply all of 191 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: your needs according to his riches in glory in Jesus Christ. 192 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: We're told that in the New Testament, so a great 193 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: miracle took place. And for weeks the widow and the 194 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 3: son and Elijah ate the food and it never ran out. God, 195 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: as always kept his promise. Then one day the widow's 196 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: son fell sick and died. The widow, of course, was distraught, despairing, 197 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: wondering why such tragedy had come upon her. So Elijah, 198 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: always trusting in God, always believing in God, trusting God 199 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 3: for another miracle. Took the boy to an upper room 200 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: where he was staying and cried out to God, laying 201 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: his body over the boy's body and asking God to 202 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 3: bring life back into this child. God heard Elijah's prayer 203 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: and the boy was filled with life again. This was 204 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: a resurrection. This is, of course, an amazing, powerful miracle. 205 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: God showed Elijah what we can know with confidence that 206 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: not even death, because of what Jesus Christ has done 207 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: for us, will keep us in the grave. That there 208 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: is life and life beyond, an abundant life today for 209 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: those who follow Christ himself. And so Elijah's faith was 210 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: strong and he knew that God would always provide for 211 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: him and would never leave him. Elijah's faith would be 212 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 3: tested in the years that would follow, but God had 213 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: big plans for Elijah that we're going to see in 214 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: our next passage. Dear God, thank you for the reminder 215 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: today that you are a God of might and miracles, 216 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 3: that you are the God of life.
