Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119)
1 Kings 17:7-16 When we walk with our focus on Jesus’ lead, and with hearts and minds open to the Holy Spirit of God, we are so often led through challenging circumstances and called to wait upon God’s mercy for the provision of what we truly need. In preparation for a major drought and famine, Elijah was first led by the Holy Spirit to a watering hole in the desert, and then, when that dried up, he was sent to a woman of good heart who was herself awaiting God’s provision for food in those times. It was both Elijah’s and the woman’s openness to the Holy Spirit of God that allowed them to receive the graces of food and drink provided miraculously for each of them, and the widow’s son as well. Am I willing to follow God’s leading through the challenges of life and to do my utmost to wait for his provision of my life’s sustenance? Holy Spirit of God, I trust you… Let the light of your face shine upon us, O Lord! (Psalm 4) And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too.
