When the brook dries up

I have recently experienced the truth that it's pretty easy to say the Lord is our source when we have a job. It's another thing to say it when the job is gone. When we have direct deposit set up with the job and we write checks to pay our bills, are we trusting the Lord or our job that the money will be in the checking account? I am not condeming anyone, because I definitely stopped my automatic drafts and havent written any checks since I lost my job. But it is definitely a question worth asking. I don't know that I have the answer to this one. But I do know that I am sick of playing church. I wonder what Smith Wigglesworth would have done...But even more than Wigglesworth, I look to Elijah as our Biblical example. In I Kings 17, Elijah was told by the Lord to go the brook and that ravens would bring him food. He was able to drink from the brook and eat the food the ravens brought him. After a certain amount of time, the brook dried up and the ravens quit showing up. If Elijah had been like most of us, he would have starved to death at the edge of the brook. Most of us would have started griping and complaining so loud that we would not have heard the Lord send us to the widow's house. The Lord has ravens and a brook or either a widow in store for each of us. It is our duty to trust Him and to realize that whether he is using the brook, the ravens, or the widow, He is the one meeting our needs. I pray that the Lord will increase our faith, that He will give us the kind of faith that writes the check even when there is no job.
