Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

Ravens

1 Kings 17:6 NIV (Talking about Elijah the Prophet)

6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

I don’t know how much you know about ravens but they are scavengers. They will find some animal that is already dead and eat from it. Ravens are not known for eating live food or killing something themselves that is fresh. No, they eat the discarded, the trash. Knowing this I wonder how many of us would have been in the frame of mind of Elijah to receive this gift of provision from God.

David McCasland said, "Those who let God provide will be satisfied."

Sometimes God’s answers to your prayers are not packaged and presented to you in the fashion you are accustomed to or are expecting. Nevertheless, if you will receive His blessings, you will be satisfied. Don’t turn up your nose at something God is providing for you today. It may be just what you need to keep going.
