I, Elijah'* Mswage to Ahab (v, 1 ). This was a startling message, for Ahab had not only. led Israel Into Idolatry, hut Into a repudiation of th* Hying God, 1. “As the Lord God of Israel llveth," Elijah knew the source of his message. He knew that he represented the llv- in g .God, therefore had- no fear to come Into the presence of the king In His name. 2. .“Before whom I stand.” Because Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab, His “standing” before God Indicates hfs constant readi­ ness to go on His errands. 8, •'There Bball hot be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of moisture continued for three .and a half years (Jas, 5U?>, and was given in answer to Elijah’s prayer (Joe, 5:17). Drouth was pre­ dicted as the punishment for Idolatry] (Deut. 13,:19,17), and the prophet was now applying the divine judgment. II. Elijah's ..Retirement (vv, 240).' As- soon jib he had delivered Ills message he retired -from the king's sight,, while the penalty of the king’s .sin should be visited upon the land. When the famine was sore in the land, the king sought east and west,‘north and south for Elijah, but God had con­ cealed him. Those who,speak God’s message frequently seek solitude when the message Is delivered. • 1, By the brook, Cherlth (vv. 2-7). (1)' Drinking of the brook (vv. 4-0). While drinking of the literal waters of the brook, he was being nourished by the T’-lug Waters from the throne of God. From day to day Elijah’s faith was tested as he saw the stream run tower rand lower as the drouth' continued. (2) Fed by the ravens (vy, 4-0), The ravens brought him bread and ,flesh In the morning and bread and flesh In the evening. Elijah thus enjoyed two meals each day, with water to drink, The same God who sus­ tained Elijah, still lives, and we should trust Him for our dally bread. At last- the brook dried up because there was no rain In the land. TheLord then instructed him to move, 2, At Zarephath <vy. 8-16). (1) The place' (v. 0). Zarephath was a t the west -side of Palestine, near the Medi­ terranean sea, in Gentile territory. In order to reach this place Elijah had to cross the country from the Jordan to the sea. Zarephath was’ only a few miles from the home of Jezebel’S father. This, no doubt, was a trial to Elijah.'- (2) Sustained by a widow (vv. 10-12). “Bring a little water and a morsel of bread,” was the request which he made of the widow. This, no doubt, was 'a great trial to her, hut God had touched her heart and stirred up faith In her. Her reply re­ veals her deep distress. (8) Elijah’s reply (V. 18), This made,plain to her that it was a case of mutual Interest to do as the Prophet said. “The barrel of meal shall not waste; neither shall the cruse,of oil-fall," (4) The widow’a obedience (v. 16). “She did according to the sayings of Elijah, and she and her house did eat many days." (5) Gcd, keeps His word (r. 18). Msy we learn from this lesson: 1. The particularity”of God’s prov­ idence. Truly a sparrow shall not fall to the ground without on? Father, By the prearrangements of God alt our needs are dally met. There is no happen so In God’s providence. Tbs woman of Zarephath, going out to gather sticks to prepare the last meat, met Elijah, and la helped for two yean. 2. No matter how small our re­ sources, we can do something for God if we will. The lad with the five bar­ ley loaves and the two small fishes, with the blessing of the Lord, did a great work. 8, Onr concern should be to work for others and for God before our­ selves, We should give our all to God and trust Him for further supply, 4. God often allow* us to get down to aur very last In order to teach us that all Is from Him. 5. God’s dealing with this Gentile woman is a foreglcam of His dealing, with th$ Gentile nations. Tbs Cheerful Worker. Do all things without murmurlngs, and disputing*; that ye may-be blame­ less and harmless,, the sons of God, without rebuke In the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shall shine as lights in the world.—Phillpplsns 2:t4 to 16. A Great Reward, . t hate fought « good fight'; I have finished my course? I have kept the., faith. Henceforth there Is laid np for .me a crown of rlghteousuess.—II Tim- othy 4:7 and 8.
