1 Kings 17 Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, “As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives—the God I serve—there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”
² Then the Lord said to Elijah, ³ “Go to the east and hide by Kerith Brook, near where it enters the Jordan River. ⁴ Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded them to bring you food.”

⁵ So Elijah did as the Lord told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. ⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. ⁷ But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land.

 

God's provision is always so awesome and amazing to me... maybe I have never been fed by ravens... maybe I have never eaten manna that falls from the skies.. but there have been days in this life where I had kids to feed and no money and no food in the cupboard.. yet every single day.. there was a way made to eat... there were days in honesty that the kids ate and I did not.. but that was okay.. because truly I was far more worried about them eating than me... and anyone who looks at me.. sees.. I do not look like I have lost anything for the few meals I have missed...

 

sometimes the things that we go without are some of life's greatest lessons in this world...

I would not know how richly I am blessed right now if I had never missed a few meals... I have learned that God truly does provide for all of my needs.. not necessarily what I see as a need.. but what my true needs are.. He provides for every one.. and He also provides for many of my desires.. not all of them.. because I would become prideful.. as it is.. I am able to turn around and see where I have come from and know that it is only by the grace of God that I am where I am now...

 

Father I praise you.. I truly love and adore you.. you are my Light and my Salvation... you are all that I need..
