Summary
In Scripture it says that Ahaib did more to provoke the anchor of the Lord, the God of Israel than had all the kings of Israel who were before him. And Elijah, tell King Ahaib as the Lord, the God of Israel lives before whom I stand, their shall be neither due nor reign these years except by my word. But we look around and we see that it's not that we are sent into enemy territory because we stop looking around and we look at ourselves and we look at our lives and we look at our thoughts and words and deeds and we realize that our own sinful nature is our enemy territory. For that says the Lord, the God of Israel, the jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth. In the fourth petition of the Lord's prayer, we ask, we ask that he would provide our daily bread, and we know that he is providing our daily bread, and we ask that he would give us humble heart to receive that daily bread, to acknowledge it is by his grace that he gives, and to give him strength. He will give us the power of His Lord and He will give us the mercy of His loving grace to share that word with those that we come in contact with so that they too would know that there is no need for despair, that there is no need for hopelessness because our hope relies completely in the promise that we have from Jesus Christ and we know as baptized children that we have been sealed in the promise of the hope.
