  Speaker 2: Welcome to the story of Elijah and the Single Mom. Trouble.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Trouble can walk straight into your day and leave you anxious. Well,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Elijah and the Single Mom fell into troubling times too.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: They faced hunger and sickness, but their faith and prayers
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: helped pull them through. God turned their lack into plenty.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: He transformed their anxiety into peace. Faith in God can
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: turn your worries into peace too. So as you fall asleep,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: may your heart be renewed with love for your true
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: source of peace, your Father in Heaven. Now leave behind
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: today's tasks and worries and just soak in God's presence
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and get comfortable. Close your eyes and begin to relax.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Breathe in God's peace and breathe out your troubles. Just
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: begin to drift off. And if you fall asleep before
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I finish, all the better. May God be present in
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: your dreams tonight too, So listen as I begin your
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: time your voyage into sleep. You're drifting into the arms
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: of Christ. As we pray, Dear God fill my heart
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and mind fresh with your presence. In peace as I sleep,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: May your Holy spirit guide my dreams. Give me faith,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: just like you gave faith to Elijah in the Single Mother.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You are faithful to them, and I believe you'll be
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: faithful to me as well. And now renew me as
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I rest in you. Fill me with trust, O Lord,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and increase my faith just like you did with this
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Single Mother. Make me strong for tomorrow in Jesus name. Amen.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Now imagine a camp site long ago, on the distant
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: edge of Israel, far far away from busy cities. It's
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: far from the palace and from the foul king, King Ahab.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Elijah the prophet is hiding by a small brook, all alone.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He has just told the king that as surely as
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the Lord, the God of Israel, lives the God I serve,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: there will be no do or rain during the next
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: few years until I give the word. So Elijah is
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: not too popular right now. He is away from his
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: home and his friends. After hiding for days and months,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: then the drought begins. See the sides around you as
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: it turns from lush green to parched yellow, and then
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: from parched yellow to dusty ashen white. Each morning, birds
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: with deep black feathers fill the bright, blue, cloudless sky.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: The flock of ravens brings Elijah breakfast commanded by God.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: They come with bread and meat for his breakfast, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they return in the evening with bread and meat for dinner.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Let this picture of the ravens remind you not to worry.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Consider Jesus' words. Look at the ravens. They don't plant
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and you are far more valuable to Him than any birds.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: God used ravens to bring meals to Elijah. God will
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: provide for you too. Soon the blue creek at Elijah's
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: camp stops babbling and becomes puddles of mud. But then
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the puddles dry up too, leaving only cracked pockets of dirt.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: All of this is happening because some of God's people
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: are making poor choices. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel had
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: rejected the God of Israel to serve foreign gods. They
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: built temples for these foreign gods, and when that made
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: God angry, they continued to fight God's people and killed
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: some of his prophets. By God's command, Elijah told King Ahab, as,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: God I serve, there will be no dew or rain
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: during the next few years until I give the word.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Now Elijah's brook is dry, but God still doesn't want
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to send rain. Rather, he tells Elijah, go and live
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in the village of Zaraphath, near the city of Sadoun.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I have instructed a widow there to feed you. So
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: now Elijah begins to pack up his camp and leave
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Israel for a foreign land. In faith, he hopes that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a single mom will feed him, a poor woman with
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: no husband and no food. That is God's plan to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: feed Elijah. Rest for a moment and breathe in that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: same spirit of faith that God gave Elijah. And then
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: breathe out and release your fears about tomorrow. Rest now
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: in God's faithful, loving arms. Elijah goes down to the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: coast to Xerophath by the Mediterranean Sea. Many hungry and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: hurting people live in villages on the path. Elijah knows
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: that the rains will come soon at his word, but
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: it isn't time yet. The sky still shines cloudless over
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the shimmering blue sea. Elijah arrives at the gates of
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the village. He sees a woman gathering sticks. Her face
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: is worn, worry lines are etched into her eyes, her cheeks,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and her hands. Would you please bring me a little
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: water in a cup, Elijah asks. He hesitates a moment,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: bring me a bite of bread too. The woman looks irritated.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I swear by the Lord your God that I don't
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: have a single piece of bread in this house, she says.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I only have a handful of flour left and a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: little cooking oil. I was just gathering a few sticks
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to cook this last meal, and then my son and
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I will die. Oh don't be afraid, Elijah says, go
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: ahead and make a little bread for me first, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: then use what's left for yourself and your son. For
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: There will be flour and olive oil left in your
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: containers until God sends rain and the crops grow again.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So she does as Elijah says, Rest for a moment
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and breathe in that same spirit of faith that God
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: gave this single mother, and then breathe out and cast
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: her cares to Jesus. Rest now in his arms Elijah.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: The single mom and her family eat their fill for
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: many days. There's always enough flower and olive oil left
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: in the containers, just as the Lord had promised. As
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the single mom stands inside the house, she thinks, how
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: crazy this is? Years with no rain, A strange Israelite
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: staying in her house, claiming to be from God. But
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: there on the shelf is food. A clay pot is
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: filled with flour and oil tops out the glass beaker.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: The water pitcher is full. Imagine what her home smelled
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: like as she baked fresh bread. Just see the joy
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: on her family's face as they all eat together. Weeks pass.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Every day the jar of flour stays full, the beaker
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: of oil and pitcher of water overflow. Elijah eats, and
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: then the mother eats with her son. Her son's thin
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: body slowly becomes strong again and the color returns to
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: his face, until one day when the color drains from
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: his face again. Something bad is happening to her son.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: She bakes bread, but he can't eat it. Day after
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: day passes like this. She moves her son into her
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: room beside the kitchen. She watches him overnight and tries
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: to nurse him back to health by day. She bakes
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: dinner and comes to get him to eat, but she
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: notices his hands are gray and stone cold. The single
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: mom grabs her son's hands. They feel cold and clammy.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: She squeezes his lifeless fingers, and then she panics. Hears
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: her tears. Man of God, what have you done to me?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: She says? Have you come here to point out my
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: sins and kill my son? She holds her lifeless, wilted
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: son in her arms. Give me your son, Elijah says.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: He takes the boy from her arms, tucks the lifeless
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: head against his old chest. He heaves the body up
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the ladder to his room and lays the boy softly
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on his bed. God, why, Elijah asks, Why have you
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: brought such agony to this widow? She opened her home
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: to me. Why would you cause her son to die?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Elijah stretches himself of the boy's cold body and calls
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: out again to the Lord God. He prays, please let
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: this boy's life return to him. Again, Elijah prays, God,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: please let this boy's life return to him. Elijah stays
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: next to the boy, praying and waiting. He has waited
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: on God many times in the past, for long periods
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of time, he will wait again. A third time, he
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: calls out, God, please let this boy's life return to him.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Another moment passes, but this one is different. Color starts
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to appear in the boy's cheeks. He sputters out a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: few blasts of air from his sunken chest, and then
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: he opens his eyes. He's alive. Elijah picks up the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: boy and carries him back downstairs to the kitchen and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: gives him to his mother. Look, he says, your son
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is alive. Has tears of joy. It's natural to cry
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: when you witness something truly miraculous take place. Now I know.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: She says that you are a man of God, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: that the word of the Lord from your mouth is
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the truth. Now, may God's word fill your dreams as
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you rest. May you be blessed by the Living God
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that transforms. May the Holy Spirit guide your dreams. Let
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: me pray now for you as you fall asleep, Oh
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: peaceful and Loving Father, be merciful to this one, Oh God,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: wipe away their sins, wash away all evil, and make
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: them clean from their sin. Tonight, tonight, let them hear
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the sounds of joy and gladness create in them tonight
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: a pure heart. Oh God, give them again the joy
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that comes from your salvation. God, grant this one peace
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken with a renewed spirit,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: ready to face the day ahead. In Jesus' name, Amen,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Now pace your breathing as you continue to rest in
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the presence of God. Just breathe, just imagine and dream,
• 15:26
