Today is the commemoration of the prophet Elijah. Although most of us probably know the story of the showdown with the baal worshipers and calling down of fire on the altar to show who who was the true God, He is also the man who, by his prayers, stopped the rain for over three years. God provided food via birds and a water source for him to drink. He also did a miracle when he told Elijah to go to a woman and ask for food. God kept filling her flour and oil so she didn't run out during the famine and they continued to have bread. This week the kids and I have been studying about him in our morning quiet times. I just love having such a flexible schedule in the summer to sit and read our Bible's together every day. It's something that is just so hard when we have to get up and out the door in the mornings.
