Kings, 17:1’ 24; 19:1-8. Golden Text Your heavenly Father knoweth ■that ye have need of all those things (Matt. 6:32.) •God can work stupendous miracles utterly 'beyond the knowledge or power or science of men to- dupli­ cate or imitate. God can authorize and empower men to work such miracleis—■won­ ders •or signs that are wholly super­ natural, not to be accounted for by any natural or scientific laws or discoveries. This omnipotent and miracle- working God has the tenderness and compassion of a mother for a helpless child, and He shows that loving compassion continually. God’s love expresses itself not only in His care for people’s souls land spirits, but also- for their bodies These are outstanding truths in our first lesson on Elijah. This prophet was one of the gig­ antic figures in all Bible history. He towers among men tn Old Test­ ament times as did the last of the prophets, John the Baptist, in New Testament times. In fact, just be­ fore the birth of Christ an angel prophesied that John the Bapitst was to- come as His forerunner, who should “go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias’’ (Elijah). (Lu. 1:17.) In the midst of the history of the things of Israel, Elijah suddenly bursts upon the scene, ■without any introduction, without any prelimin­ aries. Ahab, powerful King of Im- rael was suddenly confronted by Elijah and the prophet dared to say to the King: “As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” It was not an easy thing for a.n unknown man like Elijah to con­ front a ing and deliver his message of warning and judgment. But, as Dr. Scofield, has said: “It was a. small thing for a man ■whose life was passed in Jehovah's pres­ ence to stand before Ahab." The drought, -with resulting fam­ ine was God’s judgment on Ahab and Israel because of the King’s apostasy and idolatry. "Ahab did more to provoke the fjord God. of Israel to anger than all the Kings of Israel that were before him.” Having delivered this messages, Elijah disappeared. He was obeying God in this, who- tol-o mm to hide himself by the Brook Cherith, not far from the River Jordan. The dried-up bed of that brook can be seen today as one journeys from Jerusalem down to Jericho. It is in wild, desolate, abandoned country. How could Elijah possibly foe -pro­ vided for there? The three year’s drought was a KEEP COOL by Taking an Effervescing, Invigorating Glass of LIVERSALT TO COOL YOUR BLOOD In Tin* — 35c and 60c New, large bottle, 75c 39 miracle of judgment on a nation; ■now the same God worked .a miracle to feed one lone man, his obedient ^servant. There was water in the brook at that seasm of the year, and "thou shalt drink of the brook,” said God to Elijah, “and I have commanded the ravens t-o feed three there.” Again Elijah obeyed, “and the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook.” But after a while “the. brook dried up, -because there had been no rain in the land.” Was God at the end of His resources? He told Elijah to go to a place called Zarephath, and dwell there, and a widow ■would take dare of him. At the. gate of the city there was a widow gathering sticks; the pro­ phet asked her to bring him a little ■water to drink, then added: “Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.” There came ia pititu? answer. She ■had no bread, but she had a hand­ ful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil, and she was gathering sticks to- go hack and “dress it for me and my Kon, that we may -eax it, and die.” The people doubtless were dying on every side, in the .stark hopelessness ■of The awful famine. Elijah did a strange thing. He expressed no sympathy, but asked her to go and bake a little cake of the meal first, and bring it to- him, and after that something for herself and her son. It was not as heartless as it sounded, for God had said that this widow should care for Elizah—and she must care for herself and her son if she was to- care for the pro­ phet. Elijah did not tax her faiHi too much, for he told her that God had promised him that “The barrel of meal shall not ■waste; neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.” This was long oetore the familiar hymn had been written, “Trust and obey, for there’s no other ■way.” But that is just what the widow did, “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.” When the widow’s son fell sick and died, and she c-rled out in re­ proach against the prophet. God worked another miracle, and in answer to Elijah’s prayer, he raised the boy from the dead. Yet after all this Elijah’s faith staggered, even collapsed one day, after God had worked another stu­ pendous miracle at the word of the prophet. He had called d-own fire from -heaven, and 45 0 prophets, of the false god Baal had -been ignom­ iniously defeated and destroyed. Ah­ ab’s wicked wife Jezebel, the Queen then served notice on Elijah that she would have his life in twenty- four hours. He fled into the wil­ derness, “sat down- unde.r a juniper tree,” and asked. God to let him die. “It is enough; now, 0 Lord, take away my life; for I am not ‘better than my fathers.” God did not take him a.t his word Instead, He sent an angel who- touched the prophet ais h-e lay there asleep, told him to- “-arise and eat,” and “there was a ciake baken on the coals and a. c-nuse- of water at his head.” It was “Jehovah’s tender care of His overwrought prophet.” Surely -we can take- comforting lessons from all this for our fears-,’ our anxieties and our needs today.
