His Working Style

1 Kings 17

2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook

1 Kings 17

God used Ravens to feed Elijah

About Ravens : Ravens belong to the Crow family. They doesnt look beautiful like parrots or pigeons. They are not human friendly birds.

Ravens are scavengers. When approaching dead animals, often the raven will land a short distance away, then hop forward or sideways to the carcass.

Often seen in the company of magpies, eagles, vultures or seagulls (where appropriate), Ravens will eat just about anything that is dead, but they will also hunt for mice, lizards, small birds, snakes, insects, and berries

Who wouldnt fear a bird of such kind? Even Elijah would have. But God chose such kind of a bird to feed Elijah

But first, it was Elijah's obedience to God's word. God said "Go & I will feed you", Elijah didn't question God and just obeyed

Lesson : Often we question God's word saying, "How can that be?, That is imposible!!!, What can God do at this moment? etc.,"

We always think that people who are good, soft spoken, decent, righteous are the ones who help us

But if you obey God's word, God uses people like RAVENS to help you

God's working style is totally different, beyond our imagination

If God is speaking to you, just obey his word without any doubt or question or hesitation
