The Daily Word of Hope Devotional



Bible Fact:
Moses was the meekest man on the earth (Numbers 12:3).


† When The Brook Dries Up †



So he went and did according to the word of the LORD. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land. 1 Kings 17:5–7 ESV



Each day the flow of water got smaller in the brook. God had told Elijah to come here and had supernaturally taken care of his needs. Now it was drying up, and God was not saying anything. When the brook had completely dried up, then the word of the Lord came to Elijah and he moved to the next place. Once the Lord put me in my own computer business. It was not planned; He pushed me into it through humbling circumstances. It prospered and was anointed for years. The Lord and I worked together as partners every day. Sometimes, it was mostly ministry. There would be divine appointments and I would walk into a client's building and the computers would fix themselves, and I would end up anointing the manager with oil and praying for her. I was totally following the Holy Spirit, but then it began to dry up and He became silent. Finally after months without work or hearing Him, I was on the verge of breaking down, giving up, throwing in the towel, and bankruptcy. That was the week that He spoke and took us to the next level. It was I who was panicking, but one word from Him changed everything. Don’t panic when the brook starts to dry up. When it has completely gone, the Lord will reveal the next step that you are to take. The time of silence will end. The time of lack will be over. The blessings will return.
