There is a simple and moving story in the book of 1 Kings. Permit me to read you a few lines:
“And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
“And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
“Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
“And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
“So he [Elijah] went and did according unto the word of the Lord” (1 Kgs. 17:1–5; italics added).
There was no argument. There was no discussion. There was no rationalizing on the part of Elijah. He simply “went and did.”Share
