Elijah and the Divine Provision of God

We introduced Elijah last Sunday. His name means "my God is Yahweh." Elijah was a man whose very name indicated Who he trusted and Who he served. In our Scripture this morning, we will discover the awesome power and provision of Elijah's God.

Elijah burst onto the scene with a strong word of judgment concerning a prolonged drought upon the land. Upon making this grievous pronouncement of coming judgement, God then has Elijah hide himself. During those years of drought, the needs of the people became extreme, yet God provided for his servant Elijah.
