Only When the Brook Was Dry

"It came to pass after awhile, that the brook dried up,

because there had been no rain in the land."

I Kings 17:7

                                                     

"Elijah watched the dwindling brook...

refusing to allow his circumstances to come between himself and God. 

 Unbelief sees God through circumstances; 

but faith puts God between itself and circumstances, 

and looks at them through Him. 

Most of us would have gotten anxious and worn with planning
 long before that brook dried up.  

We would have ceased our songs as soon as the streamlet

caroled less musically over its rocky bed.  

And probably, long ere the brook was dry, 

we would have devised some plan, and asking God's blessing on it,

would have started off elsewhere."

(Streams in The Desert)

Only when the brook was dry did the Lord come to Elijah and tell Him what to do next...

Do things seem pretty dry right now?
Are your finances dwindling?
Do you have some unanswered questions?

Are you waiting for a change, a check, a call?

A new path, a different lane, a less rocky road?

His touch, His help, His direction?

He knows exactly where you are, what you need, when you need it...

May the song of His love

carol in your heart today.

Remember His rock solid promises:

"The Lord will...satisfy your soul in drought." Isaiah 58:11

"The Lord will...make her desert like the garden of the Lord."Isaiah 51: 3

"...I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19
