Things are going along great - there is plenty, God’s blessings abound, there are seemingly no worries and then, “bam!” tragedy strikes! Isn’t that usually how it happens. Tragedy can do one of two things - it can make you bitter or it can make you better. What it does depends on you and your response to the tragedy. In the midst of the incredible crisis we discover happening to the widow and her family we find that it truly is possible to find life in the midst of tragedy!

When the brook dries up in this account of Elijah we find him led by God to a widow in the heart of enemy territory where an incredible lesson surfaces, “Before God can mold us He must first melt us!”

Sometimes God leads us to places we don’t want to go or we’ll find ourselves in a place we’d rather not be and it doesn’t seem to make sense. But you can be sure that there is a reason and through your Kerith Ravine experience you’ll learn, as Elijah did, that the unexpected things God does always lead to the expected place of being dependent on Him.
