All You Who Light Fires

Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word
of his servant?

Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light,
trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

But now, all you who light fires and provide
yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the
light of your fires and of the torches you have
set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:
You will lie down in torment.

Isaiah 50: 10,11


The Good Land

“So be very careful to love the Lord your God. If you violate
the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and
go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly
perish from the good land he has given you.”

Joshua 23:11,16


The Ravens

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tisbe in Gilead,
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 ravine of Kerith, 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
ravine of Kerith, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.

The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning,
and bread and meet in the evening, and he drank from
the brook.

1 Kings 17:1-6
