Walter Spires - Minutes For Men

No prophet or preacher wants his first words from God to be telling "His people" they are about to enter a long, crippling - even deadly - drought.  Elijah was faithful to obey God and bring this bad news.  Just as we saw with Jonah, God often used nature to bring about His punishment and discipline to get their attention and try to bring repentance.   Bible References: ! Kings 17: 1 - 6
