So [Elijah] did what the Lord told him. — 1 Kings 17:5
Did you ever watch ants? The ants around here have a distinctive way of walking. (I don’t know if this is true worldwide — maybe our readers on other continents can let me know.) But, around here, ants take a few steps and then they stop.
I pointed this out to my children. I explained to them, "This is how you live the Christian life. God gives you direction, you follow it as far as you can, and then you get more direction. And He usually only gives you a few steps at a time."
I’m deeply impressed with Elijah. Yet the bulk of his life was a very simple partnership with God. God came up with a great idea, Elijah did it, and, when he was finished, God had another great idea waiting for him.
God’s ideas for you are custom designed for you and for the times in which you live. Yes, they are all based on God’s unchangeable character revealed in His word, but they find fresh expression every day in your life and mine.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
