God always provides!
Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.” So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
Praise our God for He is “Jehovah-Jireh”, the God who provides. Elijah has just announced to King Ahab that a severe drought will happen throughout the land and it will not rain save at Elijah’s command. Elijah, per the Lord’s direction, is supposed to go hide in a ravine. Get this; ravens are going to bring him food. This isn’t exactly normal raven behavior and it reveals God’s authority over all of creation. This is not to say that we should all move to ravines and wait for ravens to bring us food. This is another example to help our unbelief about who God is. God will provide!

Life assurance.
"A Prayer of Commitment":
Dear Lord, I believe Jesus is the son of God, and that He died for my sins and then rose from the dead. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart forever. Thank you Jesus for coming into my life and hearing my prayer. I ask you to forgive me for the wrong things I have done, I forgive those who have hurt me. I ask this in the name of my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Who sent Jesus?
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
The question is, “Who sent Jesus Christ?” For believers, it’s not really a question…because we know God the Father sent Him. However for some, it is a question. Some say Jesus is a prophet, some say He was merely a teacher. The issue on the table is His claim to deity; the claim He made to be God. Being a Christian means you believe that claim, and also believe He took the fullness of God’s wrath on the cross in our place. Among all the things you could “do for God”, one thing matters most. Believe in Jesus Christ - who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8)

Do your giving in secret.
"Giving to the Needy":
1 'Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 'Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6 : 1-4 - ESV)

Saviour teach me day by day.
"A Prayer - Saviour Teach me Day by Day":
Savior, teach me, day by day, Love's sweet lesson to obey; Sweeter lesson cannot be, Loving Him who first loved me. With a child's glad heart of love, At Thy bidding may I move, Prompt to serve and follow Thee, Loving Him who first loved me. Teach me thus Thy steps to trace, Strong to follow in Thy grace, Learning how to love from Thee, Loving Him who first loved me. Love in loving finds employ, In obedience all her joy; Ever new that joy will be, Loving Him who first loved me. Amen.
Jane E. Leeson

Every kitchen utensil is useful
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
God wants to “show you off” for His glory. Remember, God wants to share with everyone, the entire universe, the “incomparable riches of His grace” (Ephesians 2:7). He does this by presenting us as examples, and we are obedient to him by offering our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God. (Romans 12:1) God has chosen the lives of all believers to show His glory in the ages to come alongside Christ. What an honor! What a privilege! May our cry be that of Isaiah, “Here I am Lord, send me”! (Isaiah 6:8)
