1
00:00:00,800 --> 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 --> 00:00:17,480
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
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,920
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
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: an internal clock within me to know when it's time

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: to move on to the next season of my journey.

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: As I move in obedience, give me the faith to

13
00:00:51,880 --> 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
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: seem like they're dying. I thank you that when I

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: call upon your name, you will resurrect what seemed to

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: be dead and breathe new life into the promises in

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: my life. In Jesus name, Amen, thank you for praying

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: with us today. Continue your time with God by listening

20
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: to today's Bible story brought to you by Bible in

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: a Year dot.

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: Com Elijah and the Draft. In our last story, we

23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: were introduced to more kings of Judah. Abijah ruled with

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,120
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 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: was able to topple idols in Judah and bring the

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: people of God to their first love. Israel, however, was

28
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: 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 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: Kingdom of God, Elijah. He showcases the beginning of a

31
00:02:15,639 --> 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 --> 00:02:30,120
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 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: acted faithfully towards the Lord. He removed idols and banished

41
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 3: the cult worship of false gods from Judah. Asa was

42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,480
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 --> 00:03:15,840
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
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: worship of bail in Israel. Elijah is a powerful prophet

49
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: from God, and he will stand true in a faithless generation.

50
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,200
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 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: A dry wind was scratching across the ground of Israel.

53
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: Plans became blighted and began to wither under the heat. Elijah,

54
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280
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 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: and pass into the ground. He witnessed the livestock lose

57
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: their luster and slow down into a pause. The Lord

58
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,600
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
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: from the fields and walked towards the palace gates. He

61
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,120
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
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,080
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 --> 00:04:38,839
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 --> 00:04:46,040
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
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: So Elijah camped beside the brook for a long while.

72
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: He sat beside the waters. The shade of the trees

73
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
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
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: brought him food daily, and Elijah sat in the presence

76
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: of God, soaking in his goodness. The two were close,

77
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: as David once was with God. In the wilderness. Elijah

78
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: watched the brook. As the weeks passed. Since there was

79
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: no dew or rainfall, the river began to dry up.

80
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,440
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 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: the village of Zaraphath. I have spoken to a widow

83
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: who lives there. She will provide for you. So Elijah

84
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,400
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 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: Elijah smiled and said, would you be able to spare

87
00:05:50,560 --> 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
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: as well? Elijah asked it. His grin turned upside down,

90
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: her shoulders slumped, and her lips were parsed together. I

91
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: swear by the Lord, I have not one crumb of

92
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: bread to give you. Her lips began to quiver, and

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: she put her hands over her face. Elijah watched as

94
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: the widow began to cry. I have a handful of

95
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: flour and a little cooking oil at the bottom of

96
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: my chug. The sticks I was gathering was to make

97
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: a fire. The woman raised her eyes to Elijah and said,

98
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: this is going to be my son's last meal before

99
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 2: he dies. Elijah placed his hands on her shoulders. He

100
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: looked her in the eyes and smiled, saying, fear not,

101
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: go and prepare your bread. Make some bread for all

102
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: three of us, and we will witness the faithfulness of God.

103
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: So the widow prepared the bread. She added water to

104
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: the flower, and began to bake the mix. To a surprise,

105
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: the doe expanded far beyond her expectation. The widow watched

106
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: as she had enough bread to feed all three of

107
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: them for weeks. The three of them ate and rejoiced

108
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: in 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 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: The woman cried out to Elijah, saying, O, Man of God,

114
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
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
00:07:36,520 --> 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
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,239
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.

120
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Room of the house. He laid the child down.

121
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: Tears dripped down his face and landed beside the boy's

122
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: lifeless body. Elijah sobbed and laid over him. Muffled prayers

123
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: could be heard from Elijah, My God, why have you

124
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: brought tragedy to this woman? She has shown me kindness.

125
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: Elijah stretched his body over the child, crying out to

126
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: the Lord. Please. Elijah whispered, let him live. And as

127
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: Elijah was speaking, he felt the boy's arm twitch. Elijah

128
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: leaped up to his feet as he watched, the boy's

129
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: chest began to rise and fall. God had breathed life

130
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: into him. The widow was still on the floor downstairs.

131
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: She heard screaming from the upper room as Elijah yelled.

132
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: Elijah rushed down the stairs holding the child, yelling, he lives,

133
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: he lives. The three of them rejoiced. Elijah was able

134
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: to witness the power and provision of God in the

135
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: midst of a famine. It would be these events that

136
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: strengthened his resolve to follow God. Elijah would not bend

137
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: in his faithfulness to him. Many battles awaited Elijah, and

138
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: God would 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 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: from the Lord that he delivered to Israel's king Ahab.

144
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240
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
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,960
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 --> 00:09:52,040
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 --> 00:10:10,280
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 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: some time, the brook Careth dried up because the drought

159
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: was intense. So God sent Elijah to the town of Zaraphath,

160
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: telling him there was a widow there whom God had

161
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: told to feed the prophet. Just as God had said,

162
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: there was indeed a widow there that lived with her son.

163
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: Elijah asked her for water, and she gladly brought him

164
00:10:36,600 --> 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
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: no food to give, no food to spare. She told

168
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: Elijah that the little bit of flour and oil that

169
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,680
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
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: not be deterred because God had provided for him at

172
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: the brook. He trusted God to provide for him now

173
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,880
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 --> 00:11:18,920
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 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 3: Then he said to her what we read in First

179
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,360
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
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,080
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
00:11:46,120 --> 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
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: everything to us, especially those of us who are in

188
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: Christ Jesus, and God was promising to provide that from

189
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: a small amount. There is an inexhaustible supply until rain

190
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,800
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
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: miracle took place. And for weeks the widow and the

194
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: son and Elijah ate the food and it never ran out. God,

195
00:12:30,960 --> 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 --> 00:12:46,040
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 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: for another miracle took the boy to an upper room

200
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: where he was staying and cried out to God, laying

201
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: his body over the boy's body and asking God to

202
00:12:59,120 --> 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 --> 00:13:13,920
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 --> 00:13:21,400
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
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: is life and life beyond and abundant life today for

209
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: those who follow Christ himself. And so Elijah's faith was strong,

210
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: and he knew that God would always provide for him

211
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: and would never leave him. Elijah's faith would be tested

212
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 3: in the years that would follow, but God had big

213
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: plans for Elijah that we're going to see in our

214
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: next passage. Dear God, thank you for the reminder today

215
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: that you are a God of might and miracles, that

216
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: you are the God of life. And we pray that

217
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: each one of us would trust You for our day

218
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: provision and that we would live in the promise of

219
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: eternal life through Jesus our Lord. Amen. Thank you for
