today’s mediation verse…

i kings 17:1-3

1now elijah the tishbite, from tishbe^a in gilead, said to ahab, “as the lord, the god of israel, lives, whom i serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

2then the word of the lord came to elijah: 3“leave here, turn eastward and hide in the kerith ravine, east of the jordan. 4you will drink from the brook, and i have ordered the ravens to feed you there.”

5so he did what the lord had told him. he went to the kerith ravine, east of the jordan, and stayed there. 6the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
