Week 26 Day 178 (1 Kings 17-19) June 26, 2020 God's message to me today and verse (s) to memorize 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 1 Kings 17:4 (KJV) 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. 1 Kings 17:9 (KJV) All I can say is WOW!!! Look at my God making divine and supernatural arrangement to take care of his servant Elijah. God commanding the ravens to feed Elijah? Yes, he is sovereign and he is in control of all of creation all of the creatures and he speaks to them and they all do his bidding. I am sure Elijah did not eat raw meat or raw food. So somehow those birds must have brought him cooked food. Then when the brook dried up God just as easily commanded a wisdom to take cqre of him. Now God does have a sense of humor. Can you imagine of all the people who he would use its not a rich person with means. He commands a widow, who is about to eat her last meal and die with her son. This widow had no means to take care of Elijah but had did it supernaturally. I am so encouraged to know that the same God who sustained Elijah first by speaking to birds and then to a widow, he will also take care of me! So what does this teach me about God? I learn God is sovereign. He has control over the whole universe and all the creatures. I see how God will always take care of his people. Where he gives a vision he makes the provision. Finally, God sometimes employs the most unlikely means to accomplish his purpose.  In this case he uses birds and a widow.
