1 Kings 17: 24 And the woman said to Eli′jah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
Elijah's story is amazing. He is the only prophet of God left in a Godless country. The people are starving in a drought. Elijah is fed by ravens, who bring him water, bread and meat until God sends him to the home of this widow. She has just a small amount of oil and flour, but God makes it last for days. Then her son dies, but Elijah prays and he comes back to life. No wonder she was impressed!
The ravens really got to me. But they just strengthen Elijah so he can make it to the window's home and ultimately until he can see the king. Then he convinced the people of the power of the one true God. All these things work together to the glory of God!
Prayer: I stand amazed by Your power, my God. You are a mighty force, available to all who follow You. Just as You were there for Your servant, Elijah, be with me. I want to serve You forever.
Amen
