I Kings 17-19; Colossians 2

Hey God, Are You There?


I Kings 17
There was a famine in the land and the lack of rain was taking it's toll. When Elijah encountered the widow and her poverty even though the situation looked hopeless, it was really just another opportunity to trust God.
Have you been in that place where you wondered if the Lord could see your situation and was He really listening? I‘ve been there and in spite of my struggles, I discovered God’s faithfulness to walk me through the uncharted territory. I had to hold tight to His hand.

When the widow’s son died, Elijah prays and God raises him from the dead. She then declares to the prophet Elijah. "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD from your mouth is the truth." I Kings 17:24
How many times the Lord has proven to His children that His word is true and He is there for us. Yet we struggle to hold on to and remember those times of His healing touch or unexplained provision. While we are facing a crisis, we can either grab hold or let go of God’s promises. Always GRAB HOLD and do not let go!

Truly there was a powerful demonstration of the Lord at Mount Carmel which caused the people of Israel to cry out and repent. Afterwards Elijah prays and he sends his servant out to look for some sign of the Lord’s intervention. He came back and said I saw ‘a small cloud the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.’ It was just enough! There was a down pour! The season of famine was over! Let’s get ready and pray for the heavens to open up and pour out the rain of the Holy Spirit upon us. Let it saturate our live with His love so we can pour out to others.
So, whenever we are at place where we think the resources have dried up, the enemy seems to have the upper hand, we feel we are all alone and there is no place to turn. Remember the truth for He is Your Provider!
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7
Jehovah Jireh, God Our Provider!
