1 Kings 17:1-24

"So Elijah did as the Lord told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land." v.5-7
Elijah's single-minded commitment to God shocks and challenges us. He was sent to confront - not comfort. He spoke God's words to a king who often rejected his message just because he brought it.

It's interesting to think about the amazing miracles God accomplished through Elijah, but we would do well to focus on the relationship they shared. All that happened in Elijah's life began with the same miracle that is available to us - he responded to the miracle of being able to know God.
