16 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 

17 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. -1 Kings 17

Good morning, God Bless you and TGIF! 

The scriptures above are part of a story applicable to the name of God, Jehovah Jireh. Because in the story, God provides. 

He first provided punishment to the wicked King Ahab, Queen Jezebel and the people of Israel. Then the one who delivered the news was not to suffer.

God commanded natural predatory birds to feed him and placed him by a brook to take drink. 

And finally when the water source dried up God sent him to a place that seemed unusual. To a widow woman who was poorer than most. There God provided for him, her and her son. 

On this morning I want to leave you this thought. Don’t hang out at dry brooks. 

A dry brook could have been a source of sustainment, a source of comfort, or another resource such as a car in disrepair. 

But when the useful has become a user it is time to move on. The brook had dried up for Elijah and what remained may have been a cracked bed or even mud and what use has a man dying of thirst for such a thing? 

God sent Elijah to a place in his natural mind surely could not have sustained him, but God got the glory when the course of nature didn’t result in his death, but resulted in another convert to righteousness and a story we can use to encourage ourselves and others. 

Go to service this Sunday, we need the interaction.
