Elijah: God Provides, Part 2 Have you ever been totally surprised by how God has provided for you? He also did it for the Prophet Elijah in wildly unexpected ways, like when the Brook Cherith dried up, and he cried out to God for help. God provided in a very unexpected way when He instructed Elijah to go to a gentile widow. When we try to put our logic into the work of God, we mess up every time!
