When The Brook Dries Up

About this episode

This episode discusses how to trust God when the sources of provision seem to dry up, using the story of Elijah as a reference.

When the Brook Dries Up | Anchored in Troubled Waters | Season 9 Episode 23 Podcast Description Elijah was exactly where God told him to be, and yet the brook still dried up. In this message, we look at what happens when a season of provision begins to change, how God sustains His people in unexpected ways, and why a dried-up brook does not mean God has abandoned us. The brook may dry up, but the God who provided it is still faithful. Alternate Podcast Description 2 What happens when the place God used to sustain you begins to dry up? In 1 Kings 17, Elijah is sent by God to the brook Cherith, fed by ravens, and sustained in a season of drought. But after a while, the brook dries up. This message looks at trusting God through changing seasons, unexpected provision, and the next word that often comes after the brook runs dry. Alternate Podcast Description 3 A drying brook does not always mean God has abandoned you. Sometimes it means He is moving you into the next season of obedience. In this message, we follow Elijah from Cherith to Zarephath and learn to trust the Provider more than the provision. The method may change, but the Source remains faithful.
