Being a human means that we all have basic fundamental needs. We can’t survive without things like food, water, and rest. In a way, this reminds us of our dependence on God. We can’t spiritually survive without Him, just as we can’t physically survive without food and sleep. This lesson reviews how Elijah was revived and cared for in the wilderness. Just as God provided for him, He provides for us and gives us the strength we need for all things.

Sometimes we try to go it alone. We think we need to do everything or fix everything, and we grow weary and discouraged when we can’t. Like Elijah, we can despair and think that the world is against us. But God is for us! He knows what we need when we need it, and will always provide. The Lord cares for our physical needs, but more importantly, He gives us spiritual help, as well. Through Jesus, we have the assurance of salvation, which provides life and hope and strength.
