‏ 1 Kings 17:4

v. 4–6: Elijah had nothing to eat in the wilderness, but God provided for him. Elijah drank water from the brook, and ravens brought him bread and meat every morning and every evening (1 Kings 17:4,6 a). The food was simple, but it was enough. God chose to use ravens—unclean and greedy birds—to feed Elijah, showing that God can use any creature for His purpose. Elijah’s food came one meal at a time, teaching him to trust God daily. Like the church in the wilderness, God’s people are always cared for, even in hard times (Revelation 12:6,14 b). Elijah was thankful for whatever God gave him, and he learned to depend on God for each day’s needs.
