God is in Complete Control

Scripture 1 Kings 17:4 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

Observation: God can command anything since He created it. Imagine that He commanded the ravens to bring him food. God could have told Elijah to go to a certain place to get food, but God told him to relax and He would take care of room service. If God can command the birds and animals to help us, what about other people? I know God has used so many people in my life to help guide and take care of me. There is no reason I should still be alive and enjoying the blessings from God, but He used others to help me stay on the path.

Application: I want to be the person God uses to help someone. I want to always be available to God and I want Him to use me to make a difference in someone’s life. My eyes need to be open to what God is doing in my life whether I’m to be used to help someone or that He will put someone in my life to help me.

Prayer: My Lord please use me to make a difference for you. Use me as a tool to bring someone closer to you. Show me how to serve others in your name and be there when someone might need me. I’m your servant, use me to serve your children.
