In a recent Sunday sermon, a friend of mine reflected on the narrative of Elijah from 1 Kings 17, highlighting his confrontation with King Ahab regarding the stopping of rain for a few years until God said so due to the Israelites' idolatry, particularly the worship of Baal. Baal, often regarded as a weather deity, was rendered powerless by Elijah's proclamation, which stemmed from God’s authority. Following this declaration, Elijah was instructed by God to retreat to the Kerith ravine, where divine provision awaited him in the form of ravens delivering food and a brook supplying water. The text emphasizes Elijah's obedience to God amid uncertainties, illustrating that without such compliance, the miracles provided would not have occurred. It draws a parallel to modern life, suggesting that obedience to God can lead to miraculous outcomes, and encourages a deepening relationship with God as a foundation for trust and obedience, ultimately facilitating the experience of miracles in one’s life.
