1 Kings 17:6-7 (ESV Strong's)
And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
Subject: God's provision
Those who work for God should always note that God will provide what He wants us to have. Those who follow God are blessed by God. In the above passage we see that Elijah is sent to a brook that will provide water to drink and ravens will be sent to feed him. In the time of famine, while others are thirsty and hungry, Elijah was well taken care of. This is an act of faith by Elijah. Ravens were a forbidden bird and Israelites were to stay clear of them. Elijah obeys God, however, and allows them to feed him. Those who follow God must do so in faith. Faith means obeying God even when we don't know how and where and when God will provide. But, God does!!! He gives grace when we need it. He gives gifts when He wants us to have them.
