When the Brook Dries Up

What do you do when your brook dries up and there is no water to quench your thirst? My first thought is to find a new source. The hard part is when you have drank from the same brook for so long, you are not even sure where to look.

This happened to Elijah, I Kings 17, the Lord fed him by the brook and some time later, the brook dried up. It was time for Elijah to move on.

The Lord allows these times in our lives when everything familiar and secure dries up and we know it is time to move on. But where do we go? How do we leave everything that is comfortable and secure and routine, for the unknown?

It is a question to be pondered and searched out with the Holy Spirit. Lord, where is my next brook?
