Scripture Text: 1 Kings 17:1-16 (NIV)

In First Kings 17, a grievous drought had spread throughout the land, but the Lord had kept His servant Elijah safe, secret, and satisfied by brook Kerith. One of the questions the story about Elijah raises is how do we not only survive but THRIVE? How do we prosper? How do we receive the blessings in life that God wants to give us? When things are going great and when things are not going so great, and you see both in this story. There is a drought in Israel and God sends the prophet Elijah to a brook where he can get water; but then the brook dries up. This experience in his life – all of us have experienced at some time in our life. In today, message Pastor Wallace walks through this story almost verse at a time. Overall, the point of this message is that God wants to move your from here to there. “There” is that place in your life where God wants you to be so He can bless you. Are you where God wants you to be? Whether your brook is full or dry, how can you cooperate with God who wants to give you a bigger life than you can possibly imagine. Trust, risk, receive, and then a little bit of flour and oil becomes a whole lot. Poverty becomes provisions when we trust God. Gloom becomes grace when we trust God. Amen.
