Elijah
FaithGod's wordGratitude

22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.

23 Then Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. “Look, your son is alive,” Elijah declared.

Then the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is truth.”
