A young girl had to pass through a bad neighborhood. As she went down a dark street she noticed a shadowy figure stalking her. She was gripped with fear, but to her relief, the stalker did not attack. Later, she read of another young lady who was attacked that same night in that same place. The police asked anyone who might have seen anything that night to come forward as a witness. After giving her story she asked the accused attacker why he hadn’t attacked her. His answer was “Why, Miss, there were two men guarding you.”
1 Kings 17:6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
As one prepares for a ride far off, we make sure that we have enough fuel and the basic supply for the way. But when God says that I will provide just get going. It becomes a little tricky in this day and age.
But prophet Elijah who had complete trust in God went to the East of Jordan. He obeyed God just as he was told. It really looked funny to believe that he was supposed to drink from the brook and wait for the Ravens to bring him food. But as he trusted God, it would have been fascinating for God to provide for someone who trusts him completely. When there was drought all over the country, Elijah was being fed from the unexpected sources. A brook which would have been the first thing to dry up in a drought and raven an ugly bird became a testimony of what God can do even in the worst of the situations.
As you the beloved of God trust HIM completely in the journey of life, there might be storms and droughts, but he has got your back. If you can completely trust Him, HE will surely provide for His beloved. So get going.
