'Lase | Storyteller

So there’s a massive drought. No rain, no food, everything’s dried up.

God tells the prophet Elijah to go hide by a brook. Elijah’s probably thinking “Okay, water sorted. But what about food?”

Then God says something wild: ‘I’ve commanded the RAVENS to feed you.’

Ravens. Literally scavenger birds known for being unclean and unreliable.

But every morning and evening? Those ravens showed up with bread and meat. Like clockwork.

Here’s what gets me:

• God could’ve sent angels

• Could’ve made food appear

• Could’ve used ‘respectable’ people

But he chose ravens!

Have you ever noticed how we create a mental list of ‘acceptable providers’? Like God needs our approval on His delivery methods. We’re checking our email for the miracle while He’s sending it via text from an unknown number.

Sometimes your provision comes from the most unexpected source.

Don’t get so stuck on HOW you think God should provide that you miss HOW He actually is.

Your turn: When has God provided for you through an unexpected “raven”? Your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today. 

And if this shifted your perspective, share it. Someone in your circle is looking at an empty bank account, an impossible situation, or a closed door and they need to know about the ravens.
