Garnished for Glory (When God furnishes what's needed and adds to the display of His glory)
Blessings friends... as I lowered my rope in the deep well of life this morning the Lord graciously filled my bucket with His refreshing water. He gave me way more than I could drink, so if you're thirsty, I have plenty to share.
Faith builders...for them, yes—but even more so for us, today. As Romans 15:4 reminds us: "What things were written, in the Older Testament, were written, that through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures we (today) might have hope."
I love it when God's message, for one of His servants, reaches beyond him and ministers specifically to me. What He graciously spoke to Elijah has abundantly watered my needy soul. He said, "I have COMMANDED the ravens to feed you [there]." (1 Kings 17:4)
Think about the ramifications of what God shared with his man? Something supernatural was in the making and God was bringing His servant up to speed on His work behind the scenes. He was letting Elijah see what others couldn't... and revealing that He had altered the natural order of things to meet a real life need in the prophet's life.
It's no secret... but not everyone knows this, WHERE God leads, He meets our most essential needs. There's no one that knows how to lead, feed and meet the daily needs of His own people, like Jesus. Also, many are still in the dark on the fact that it takes a supernatural work of God to alter the natural flow and order of things. Specifically, things that He's already established to be a certain way.
The examples are endless, from the Red Sea parting for Moses, the sun standing still for Joshua, the ravens feeding Elijah, ax hea |
