Today's Scripture
Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. (1 Kings 17:3, ESV)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
In the scripture, the prophet Elijah was living in a certain city. God said to him, Leave this place and go down to the brook Cherith for I have commanded the ravens to feed you there. When he got to the brook, every morning just like clockwork, the ravens brought him food. He had his provision; a prepared blessing. Heres the key. Elijah didnt have to try to find the ravens. He just had to get to where God wanted him to be and the ravens found him.
In the same way, there is a place where God has commanded you to be blessed. The ravens are already there your provision, favor, abundance. The real question today is will you do whats required to get to your place of blessing? Elijah could have said, God, I dont want to leave. Im comfortable. I like it here. My friends are here. But if he had stayed, he would have missed where he was commanded to be blessed.
Are you willing to do what God is asking you to do today? Listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit inside, follow His leading, and enter into the place of blessing!
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for leading me to a place of blessing. Thank You for sustaining me and empowering me to fulfill Your call on my life. I choose to follow Your leading so that I can be in the place Youve called me to in Jesus name. Amen.
