Wk 38 Fed by Ravens!

“Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: ‘Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there.’ So he did what the Lord had told him.” 1 Kings 17v2-5

Ok, this is a bit of a strange thing to be told….”you will be fed by the ravens”! But the challenge here is what follows. Elijah did as the Lord had told him. There was no arguing or discussing, or trying to get a compromise, Elijah was a man of God and he knew that all he could do was to obey the word of the Lord.

Have you ever felt that God was saying something to you, maybe in a passage you were reading, or through something someone was saying to you? If you have, how willing were you to obey it. Or have you read any of the teachings of Jesus? There are so many challenges and commands there that you can understand why he was seen as a radical. But having read a parable or the Beatitudes how willing have you been to do as the Lord is telling you?

God bless
