    Compares Elijah’s time at the Brook Cherith with military boot camp and how God prepares us for service.

Elijah was instructed by God to go to wicked King Ahab and his notorious wife, Jezebel, that a famine was coming. This famine would effect all of the people of Israel including ...read more
