1 Kings 17:2-6

I was reading 1 Kings 17:2-6 in my devotions today and just wanted to share what I learned. 

God told Elijah to hide in a cave and He would supply nourishment from the ravens and the brook. Elijah obeyed and was provided food by the ravens and water by the brook. Whenever God calls us to do something, He always provides what we need to be nourished, strengthened, and equipped for what God has prepared for us ahead. 

It's easy to overthink the worst case scenario of "what if" this happens, etc when faced with the unknown but God already knows the future and has everything sorted out, our only job is to trust and obey Him and He will take care of the rest as we step out in faith by doing, "taking action". 

James 1:5-8 says if we lack wisdom to ask God who will give it to us liberally without finding fault. But when we ask, we must believe and not doubt which means that once God has given us wisdom, we act on it. We don't overanalyze or overthink it because then we become hesitant and unstable with doubting like being tossed to and fro like the waves. Thus He can't bless us or take us where we need to be. 

Whatever we are facing in life, ask God for wisdom in that area and when He shows us what to do, do it. And He will provide us and guide us in the process.
