Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
Today’s daily devotional is about Elijah and the drought. God guided Elijah to proclaim a famine, yet provided for him through a brook and a widow, symbolizing Israel's spiritual drought and God's faithfulness.
STORY
Bible in a Year: Elijah and the Drought
Scripture
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19
In times of scarcity or struggle, how can you remain steadfast in your faith and trust in God's provision?
Have you ever experienced a season of drought in your life—times of spiritual dryness or overwhelming challenges?
Elijah's story during the drought in Israel, found in 1 Kings 17, speaks powerfully to such times. As the nation faced physical famine due to their spiritual waywardness, Elijah, God's faithful prophet, declared this truth to King Ahab.
Despite the bleak circumstances, God’s care for Elijah never wavered. He provided for Elijah at the Kerith Brook with ravens bringing him food, and when the brook dried up, God led him to a widow in Zarephath. There, both Elijah and the widow experienced God's miraculous provision, turning scarcity into sufficiency.
Elijah’s journey reminds us that God is always present, even in our driest seasons. When life feels like a drought, and we are tempted to despair, we must remember God’s faithfulness.
Elijah's reliance on God's guidance and provision teaches us to trust Him fully, even when the path ahead is unclear. In our modern lives, we too may face periods where resources are limited, or our spiritual fervor wanes. Yet, it is during these times that we can most profoundly experience God's provision and grace.
Consider the areas in your life that feel barren or challenging. Are you looking to God for sustenance and direction? Elijah’s story encourages us to seek God's presence, trusting that He will provide what we need in His perfect timing and way.
REFLECTION
Reflect on your response to challenging seasons. Are you trusting God to meet your needs, or are you succumbing to fear and doubt?
Take time this week to intentionally seek God's presence in prayer and study His Word. Identify the “droughts” in your life and invite God to show His provision and purpose through them.
Commit to trusting Him more deeply, knowing that He is faithful and will provide, often in unexpected ways. Pray for a heart that is open to His guidance and provision, embracing His care even in the most difficult times.
Turn prayer into a two-way conversation and seek God’s guidance with clarity and purpose.
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ACTION: GOODNESS
Take the time to plant flowers, herbs, or a tree to bless your environment.
PRAYER
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1 KINGS 17:7
Dear God, when there is drought in our world and recessions in our economy, I will look to You to provide for myself and those I love, like You did for the prophet Elijah by the brook. In the same miraculous manner I thank You that, like the ravens You sustain, You will nourish me through miraculous connections and divine relationships. Place an internal clock within me to know when it's time to move on to the next season of my journey. As I move in obedience, give me the faith to move as the widow did, knowing that if God said it, He will be faithful to perform it. Even when my dreams seem like they’re dying I thank You that when I call upon Your name You will resurrect what seemed to be dead and breathe new life into the promises in my life! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾
