ESSENTIAL STUDIES.
1 Kings 17, Elijah the Tishbite
Additional studies: 1 and 2 Kings Index
We learn through the course of the Narrative, that the word of YHVH in Elijah’s mouth, is truth. He proclaimed a drought, and there was no rain in the land. He proclaimed the miracle of the flour and oil, and the flour and oil did not run out. He prayed for the soul of the widow’s son to return, and God restored the boy to life (the first instance in the Bible of someone being raised from the dead by the supernatural power of God). No prophet had walked in such power since Moses.
Psalm 18, Perfecting my way
Additional studies: Psalms Book One: 1-41 Index
My way, or habitual course of action that I tread again and again, has been perfected by the cross covered by the mighty blood. This is its definition from the foundation of the world, millennia before the advent of Yeshua. It is yet another testimony from Scripture that when man receives Yeshua, he is receiving atonement covering his way, the mercy seat covering the law, and forgiveness covering his sins. It is this kindness which leads him to repentance of his former way without God, and strength girded about him to tread a new path, a right path, in YHVH’S footsteps.
