He has a good plan for us

1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except according to my word.

1Ki 17:2 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

1Ki 17:3 Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.

1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, you shall drink of the brook. And I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.

1Ki 17:5 So he went and did according to the Word of Jehovah. For he went and lived by the torrent Cherith, before Jordan.

God told Elijah to hide himself by the brook Cherith and drink of the brook. He did what the Lord told him.

1Ki 17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.

1Ki 17:7 And it happened after a while, the torrent dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

God took care of Elijah by sending the ravens brought him bread and flesh. Every thing happened according to what the Lord has told Elijah and it happened after a while the torrent dried up. The brook that Elijah has drank and quenched his thirst, now it dried up.

Perhaps, our brook, where we find joy and love, may dried up. And we may think, what have I done wrong? Or we even condemn ourselves when some thing didn't go in our plan. I have a good news! Don't loose heart because our God knows what will happen and He has prepared a good plan, a better plan we can say, for us!

Remember, the next thing that God does will be better thing than the last thing He did.

1Ki 17:8 And the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

1Ki 17:9 Arise, go to Zarephath which belongs to Sidon, and live there. Behold, I have commanded a widow to keep you there.

Then God told Elijah to go to Zarephath because He has prepared a place for him. When it seems our brook dried up, God got another better plan for us. The brook dried up didn't surprise God, nor made Him worries because He knows our future! Because before the brook dried up, God already has a plan for us!!
