I was reflecting on this passage today because it reminded me of how God is faithful to provide forbid through the famine (droughts of life) if we would only listen to his voice.
What was so moving about this passage is that it reinforces the fact that solutions are not always found in the places of familiarity but only at the place – people and geography- where God leads us.
As leaders, we will face famines as we move forward in battle. We just need to ensure that we have set time aside to be able to hear the word of the Lord as to what to do, where to go, when to go and with whom we should partner. Then take action.
We have to choose to believe that God is orchestrating our steps and is commanding others to meet our needs so that we can also be a blessing to them – even in the famine there is supernatural provision.
Lastly, as leaders, we have a responsibility to articulate our needs through prayer and to trust the process of the Lord.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
Trust God!
“Then He said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.
But in truth I say to you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was closed up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land; and yet Elijah was not sent [by the Lord] to a single one of them, but only to Zarephath in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.”
Luke 4:24-26 AMP
“After a while the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.
And the word of the Lord came to him: Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there.
Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
1 Kings 17:7-9 AMPC
