1 Kings 17:2
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”
Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:
3 “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
