Hear and Obey

 “And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.  So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.”

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭17:4-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The prophet Elijah had such a close relationship with GOD that when He told Elijah, to get out of that area fast and to head east and hide out at the Kerith Ravine on the other side of the Jordan River; and that he could drink fresh water from the brook; and God had ordered the ravens to feed Elijah, the prophet obeyed instantly.  Those of us who have come to the place of relating to the God Who loves us, we hear Him and obey Him instantly.  Elijah foreshadowed the Lord Jesus Christ Who even though He was a wonderful Son, He learned to listen and obey through all His sufferings. And after being proven perfect in this Way, He has now become the source of eternal salvation to all those who listen to Him and obey.  The crux of the matter is whether we hear the God we believe in and do we obey Him.  Jesus told us how to hear from our Father and follow His instructions.  That’s the only Way to be successful.  Let’s hear Him and do what He says.  We only hear Him when we abide in His Word.  Let’s learn to be successful in God’s Way!  Amen!
