Elijah on Mount Carmel: Lesson Two

God provides for the one who obeys.

God told Elijah where to go before He told him how he would eat.

1 Kings 17:3-4 (KJV): Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

Elijah went, and the ravens fed him morning and evening.

1 Kings 17:6 (KJV): And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

The widow did what Elijah said, and her meal and oil did not run out.

1 Kings 17:15-16 (KJV): And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

The same God still supplies our need.

Philippians 4:19 (KJV): But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
