#128. Teaching Your Kids to Stand for God and Seeing God's Provision for You as a Mom: Lessons from Elijah's Life | 1 Kings 16-19 and 2 Chronicles 17

In this episode of The Dwelling Place, we journey through 1 Kings 16–19 and 2 Chronicles 17, where some of the Bible's most dramatic and beloved stories unfold.As Israel's kings grow increasingly wicked, God raises up the prophet Elijah to call His people back to Himself. We'll witness the rise of Ahab and Jezebel, the miraculous provision for a starving widow, the showdown on Mount Carmel, and Elijah's surprising encounter with God's still small voice.Through these chapters, we discover a God who is powerful enough to send fire from heaven and tender enough to provide daily bread, water, and rest for weary servants. Whether you're facing discouragement, wondering if God sees your needs, or trying to stand faithfully in a culture moving away from His ways, this episode offers rich encouragement from Scripture.In This EpisodeThe rise of Ahab and JezebelWhy God sent a drought to IsraelElijah fed by ravensThe miracle of the widow's flour and oilGod raising the widow's son to lifeThe dramatic showdown between Elijah and the prophets of BaalFire falling from heaven on Mount CarmelElijah's discouragement and exhaustionGod speaking through a gentle whisperThe calling of ElishaKing Jehoshaphat's faithfulness in JudahKey Scriptures1 Kings 16–192 Chronicles 171 Kings 17:14 — The flour and oil will not run out.1 Kings 18:21 — Choose whom you will follow.1 Kings 18:36–39 — Fire from heaven.1 Kings 19:11–12 — God's gentle whisper.2 Chronicles 17:6 — Jehoshaphat's courageous heart.A Truth to Remember"The Lord, He is God."
