1 Kings 17:5 (NIV)
5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He
went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
As messengers of God, we will often lead lonely lives. “All
men forsook me,” said Paul. It is a price we have to pay; there is a loneliness
in the Gospel. Yet you will not be alone, because you will be ministered to by
the Spirit of God, as Elijah was ministered to at the brook Cherith. A true
messenger lives a burdened life. If he is the Lord’s vessel, he carries in his
heart a burden for souls none can share but those who know it firsthand.
Thought for today:
Can I sit alone in my thoughts and trust God to answer?
