The Bible In Paintings: GOD SENDS RAVENS TO FEED ELIJAH

[Hebrews 11:6]

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR APPRECIATING AND APPLYING GOD'S MESSAGE

1^st KINGS
CHAPTERS 16-17

Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years. AHAB DID MORE EVIL IN THE EYES OF THE LORD THAN ANY OF THOSE BEFORE HIM. He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him. He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria. AHAB DID MORE TO PROVOKE THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, TO ANGER THAN DID ALL THE KINGS OF ISRAEL BEFORE HIM.

Now Elijah the Tishbite 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.”

Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there.”

So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Thank you for posting these various and differing art works, over time. Lovely to see and review. Best wishes.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Very glad you’re enjoying the illustrated scriptures.

[evets]

Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! - Luke 12:24

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well-cited, evets. You have supplied my oversight: that quote belonged above, at the bottom of the post.

If anyone ever became convinced by events of God's provision, it was Elijah.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[etabeta]

All very nice. Thank you, Dan!

[Hebrews 11:6]

If'n I were you, Mary-Lou, I would hasten to Brookline, to the Country Club, to enjoy with delight, along with thousands of other golf enthusiasts, the identification process--that is, the United States Open Championship--of this year's champion golfer, in the glorious tradition of native son Francis Ouimet. A splendid time will be had by all.

[Hebrews 11:6]

At the Ravens Inn, how does one tip your server?

[Bob434]

I like the way 15 depicts the scene.

Talk about a faith fortifier. God tells him what he is going to do, and then every morning and night the birds do exactly what God said they would. Hard to not have faith after living through such an awesome experience. My dog wouldn’t even fetch me a piece of cake from the kitchen.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hard to not have faith after living through such an awesome experience.

That is God's specialty, first providing and then building the faith of those who will allow Him to do so. Elijah ventured much on His behalf.

[etabeta]

By sharing your meat.

[left that other site]

Not a golf fan.

Every time the US Open hits Brookline, the Traffic on the Jamaicaway, Riverway, and Route 9 becomes insufferable.

And, after what they did to Donald Trump, I have NO USE for the PGA.

And so, I will not be heading to Brookline this weekend.

But, anyway, thanks for the happy thoughts.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Genius!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, actually, this is the USGA, but I take your point.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good afternoon, Dan! Thanks very much for the plethora of fine Art.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

"God save all here!"

[Hebrews 11:6]

Always my pleasure, Tom. What a joy to serve a God Whose scriptures inspire such a plethora.
