A Place Called "There"

Have you ever found yourself in a space where you noticed you were in a dry season – a period of time where joy and happiness began to fade. A time where peace was now becoming scarce or a time where provision became challenging. Unfortunately, these patterns are a part of life but thank God they are temporary! Oftentimes, such situations lead us to a greater level of prayer or deliberately spending more time with God. Usually, that increase in prayer and time with God allows us to become more sensitive to His voice or to His intervening in our situations. He often gives us instructions just as He did to Elijah in the passage above. God’s instructions always lead us to a place where we are safe in Him – a place of provision, of healing, of peace, of joy or whatever we’re in need of. It is through our relationship with God that we are able to create that place called “There.” Today, there’s no brook called Cherith for us to run to but our place called “There’” can be in our car, in our kitchen, at our desks, during our morning walk or any place we take time to seek His face and the plans He has for us.
