You may be facinguncertianty and your job is in
limbo so to speak and every bill is past due. To make
matters worse in your home is trouble woe! Pause for
a moment take a deep breath,in now breathe out. Feel
better? I am glad you are for there is hope in whatever
you are going through. Let's go over to the book of 1
Kings 17 concerning Elijah and the widow woman of
Zarephath. (8) "Then the word of the LORD came to
him, saying, " (9) "Arise, go to Zarepheth, which belongs
to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow
there to provide for you." Understand, there was a famine
throughout the land. Read on. (10) "So he arose and went
to Zarepheth. And when he came to the gate of the city, in
deed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to
her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a cup, that
I may drink." (11)And as she was going to get it, he called
to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your
hand." (12) "So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I
do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a
little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks
that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that
we may eat it and die." (13) "And Elijah said to her, "Do
not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small
cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make
some for yourself and your son." (14) "For thus says the
LORD God of Israel: "The bin of flour shall not be used
up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD
sends rain on the earth." (15) "So she went away and did
according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her
household ate many days." (16) "The bin of flour was not
used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word
of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah." This was indeed
a divine connection! May this word comfort and encourage
you in whatever state you may find yourself. Be confident
of this fact. God is sending to you divine connections; make
sure you are open to receive by being obedient as the widow
was. May Abba father's presence surround and protect you
each day!
