Beneficial Connections

Sometimes we may lack something we need and wonder if God really cares about us.

God could have sent the prophet Elijah to anyone in the world, but the Bible book 1 Kings chapter 17 records that God chose to send Elijah to a widow and her son in Zarephath, Sidon, who were in danger of starvation only having enough food for one meal. The widow and her son were not the only ones in Zarephath who needed help. Why did God choose this family?

God sends right people at the right time to the right place to bring about good through those who trust Him. When Elijah showed up, the widow and her son received him. Receiving God's prophets and other leaders is beneficial; it's receiving God who is goodness. God changed the widow's and her son's last meal into a continual source of food.

Do you need a beneficial connection? Talk to God. He is willing and able to provide. He cares about us and everything that concerns us. No detail anywhere escapes His attention. Then tell us about it on-line to strengthen, encourage and comfort people.
