Elijah, again?....

Elijah, again?....

Earlier this year, our pastor worked through the life of Elijah...soooo good...

Last week another pastor shared about Elijah and this weekend still another pastor is working through the life of Elijah as well...three different localities, three venues, three pastors....just Maybe there is a message for me...all have been excellent...obedience, trust, provision, promise...all with emphasis in different texts, as God has related to them...but also my life...again....obedience, trust, provision, promise...in the desert, in life...contentment in change, leading in the impossible, help from unlikely sources, provision in desert times, watching God at work, blessings In the rain and dry times, supply of strength in the calling...

God is always working...even when I see the destruction of the west coast in fires, the east coast in hurricane after hurricane hit millions of people, their lives, their homes, their livelihoods...devastated..hungry, thirsty, homeless...as thousands respond to the fires, the cleanup, the mountains of garbage, ruined homes, businesses, streets, towns .....

God still has control...even when we don't see it...he is speaking to each of us whether in the storm, the provision of food from the ravens( an unclean bird), an impoverished widow...a fire from heaven, a small cloud in the sky. ...cruise ships or aircraft carriers bringing food and water, semis with washing facilities, boats of all shapes and sizes to rescue, or  millions of other ways...compassion in the little and big ways... The Word spoken in care...

Provision in the deserts of life...

Thank YOU...
