God is the provider. People who ate from his hands usually do not recognize it. Israelites openly said to Jeremiah that they ate well when they worship the stars. Jer. 44:17. God brought them to starving. Jer. 52:6
Jacob said that the angel who fed him will bless Joseph's sons. He knew that God sent angel to provide him yet he doesn't say that there is an angel god. He knows that God sends through angels.
Wherever you are, God sends some one to provide you. It seems that Elijah never worries about food. He did not say that birds provided, angel provided or a widow provided.
When Elijah was at the brook, the brook was dried up after a while. God allows it that the brook may not become his god. In India, some of our brothers worship rivers. Some people say that they are independent. What they do mean is that they don't depend on any one but upon God. But i want to tell them that if they depend on God, they are not independent but dependent. Its actually a blessing.
Its not only about the food. Its about your every need. God is the provider, wherever you are.
- Elijah was at the brook. God sent birds
- Elijah was in the wilderness. God sent an angel
- Elijah was in Zarepath. God sent a widow
