17:1
Elijah now comes on the scene, the first of the two prophets Elijah and Elisha, they are different from the likes of Isaiah, Jeremiah etc, in that it is not their words that are remembered so much as their actions. However the importance of the word is stressed here.Elijah confronts Ahab, with the truth that it is God who determines the weather.
17:2-4
God tells Elijah to go, and assures him that He has made provision for him. We may think that God has forgotten us, but his plans are far wider than we imagine, we need to trust in the Lord not in our own understanding. He may even have made provision in ways we never imagined.
