Waiting By The Brook Of Cherith

One of the most amazing personally comparative experiences in my life is the biblical story of Elijah waiting upon further instruction from God by the Brook of Cherith. While there, he was also fed meat everyday by ravens that were appointed by God to meet that need. The scripture doesn't say very much more about the process, which makes it a rather unremarkable little blip on the radar. That's exactly the reason I finally recognize it. When everything else around you becomes increasingly unrecognizable and mundane, so you begin to resign yourself to your circumstances, but with one eye always open to finding something more... Blip, there it is! I'm waiting here because I'm waiting here in obedience to God, because it is the place of his provision. I'm not in the wrong place. I'm not being lazy and idle. I'm just here abiding where God put me. I've been here before, so it takes less time to recognize it, even though I never really expect it, until... Blip!
