Just like the rest of us, Prophet Elijah too experienced difficult times in his life. One of the difficulties he faced was during a famine and God told Elijah to dwell in Brook Cherith because there was a supply of water.
Apart from supplying Elijah with the provision of water, God also fed Elijah by having ravens bring him food daily. Everything was well until the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land (1 Kings 17: 1-9).
We all have times just like that when the comfort of our daily lives is interrupted by something we have no control of. During these times, we should remember God has another plan. When one door closes, another one always opens.
When the brook dried up, God told Elijah to arise and go to Zarephath, where HE had commanded a widow to provide for him. God had a better plan, but Elijah had to arise. Imagine if Elijah decided to stay, he would’ve lived in lack and misery.
Arise and have faith in God’s goodness. When your brook dries up, praise HIM and HE will guide you. Remember that God has a plan for you and it is a better plan.
Micah 7:8
When I fall, I shall arise.
