I can’t count the times in my life where I’ve found myself struggling with my current situation. You know the kind of moments, praying hard, working hard, waiting on God to show up… and all you hear are crickets. Honestly, some of those seasons felt like staring at an empty cup and hoping it would magically refill.
In 1 Kings 17, Elijah knew that feeling. God led him to a brook at Cherith, provided for him there, and then one day the stream dried up. Just like that. Not because Elijah messed up, but because God was preparing him for what came next.
Sometimes we have to spend a little time beside a dried-up stream before we’re ready for the next thing God has for us. The dry place isn’t the end, it’s the transition.
Even the drought has a purpose.
Empty Your Cup...
