Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Then will be the time for us to trust wholly in God, and He will sustain us. I saw that our bread and water will be sure at that time, and that we shall not lack or suffer hunger; for God is able to spread a table for us in the wilderness…. Therefore, the correct way for preppers to survive is to study the history of Elijah, because doing so will furnish a wealth of knowledge, and instruction that is becoming more and more relevant and applicable to those who are living in the here and now.
Elijah was directed by God to go tell Ahab that there will not be dew nor rain for over three years. Then, in obedience to God, he embarks on his journey, he passes through the gates unannounced, he passes the security guards, and walks right up to the king to deliver the fearful message. In any other circumstance, Elijah would have been a dead man for doing so, because no one could even think about getting that close to an earthly monarch without prior vetting, and security clearance.
Thus, Elijah manifested a total dependence on God for his security, something that many of us are yet to learn….. 1st Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
1st Kings 17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
