INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, June 29, 2026 Topic: WHEN YOUR SOURCE DRIES UP! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing" - Psalm 34:10 KJVA Bible Text: ‭1 Kings 17:7 KJV 7. ‭‭And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. INSPIRATION: What does it feel like to have a promise, a blessing or an opening shut in your face? How do you deal with disappointments that put you on the spotlight or make people question who you are or your relationship with God. Behold, the almighty Elijah, having to face a reality of lack and even the source God promised to use also dried up before his every eyes. How was he to face the nation and defend his relationship with God if he too suffered lack? His, was such an ordeal that resonates with our everyday reality. But not to despair, God took care of Elijah! Before the brook dried up, he already made provision in a widow! God has never left His own stranded (Psalm 37: 25)! Before you took ill, He's provided for your healing; before the house goes out of stock, He already made provision; before that anxiety wears you out, He's already made a way of escape. Sometimes, the problem is not an absence of God's provision but our insensitivity in discerning what's been provided for, or the disdain for the medium He chooses to use to meet our needs. He can still use a raven, a brook or a widow, all to His glory. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: The sequence of God's provision never ends; one unfolds into another. As one brook is running dry, another chapter will open up divinely. Hallelujah! PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank you for never allowing me lack; You always make a way in the most unlikely manner. Your love and thoughtfulness overwhelms me; the way You pamper and take care of me feels so endearing. Thank You for being so detailed and very intentional in ensuring all I need is supplied, in Jesus name.
