Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, “As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives—the God I serve—there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!” Then the LORD said to Elijah, “Go to the east and hide by Kerith Brook, near where it enters the Jordan River. Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded them to bring you food.” So Elijah did as the LORD told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land. Then the LORD said to Elijah, “Go and live in the village of Zarephath, near the city of Sidon. I have instructed a widow there to feed you.” So he went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow gathering sticks, and he asked her, “Would you please bring me a little water in a cup?”

In this three-part plan, Dr. Kim uses examples from the life of the prophet Elijah to describe how God worked through him to accomplish His purposes. Yet, in reality this amazing prophet Elijah was a man just like you. God had a plan for Elijah and He has a plan for you. This plan will help you connect with God in ways that you probably never have before.
Like Elijah, the prophet, we have found ourselves in a cave, isolated from society. In these moments of detachment from our routine behaviors, we must train ourselves to take heed to where the Holy Spirit beckons our attention. When we learn to listen to that still small voice, God will enable us to fulfill our purpose in Him.

God’s Sovereignty at times involves the employment of the unfamiliar, the unlikely, and the unexpected to bring about divine providence to His beloved children- stretching their faith. A raven and a widow were unusual sources of sustenance for Prophet Elijah, considering the reputation of each in ancient times. Yet what society deems strange or unusual God coronates as opportunity for stretching and blessing.
