did according . 1 Kings 19 . 9 , Proverbs 3 . 5 , Matthew 16 . 24 , John 15 . 14 , Many learned men have raised doubts on those parts of the Inspired Word , which may , by the per#### Verseness of their argument and the ingenuity of their surmise , be made to appear inconsistent with fact. In this case , they are not satisfied with being expressly told by God that the ravens supplied Elijah with food , while the brook gave him drink , but apparently to mystify a manifest miracle , they suggest whether these ravens might not be merchantmen , or the inhabitants of a neighbouring town. Let any unprejudiced reader and lover of the Bible take the whole history of Elijah , and he will find that his life was almost a daily illustration of the power of God in his miraculous interpositions. Instance the supply of provision in the unwasting barrel of meal and cruse of oil , after the prophet had removed to Zarephath . the power communicated to him to raise the widow's son from death . the wonderful interposition of the Lord to prove the folly of Baal's worshippers , in sending down fire from heaven to consume Elijah's sacrifice and lick up the water , although the sacrifice had been saturated therewith , and the altar surrounded by a deep trench to prevent its running away. The prayer for rain is another instance . the sojourn in Horeb forty days and forty nights , after having eaten of the cake . the destruction of Ahaziah's messengers twice . the smiting of the waters at Jordan . the fall of the mantle on Elisha , and finally , in the closing scene of life , he was taken to glory without tasting the pains of death , the sting was taken away.
