David Davis emphasizes the significance of Elijah's time by the brook Kharit, where he learned the importance of a hidden life with God. Despite being a prominent prophet, Elijah was instructed to retreat and rely on God's provision, symbolizing the need for intimacy and communion with the Lord. The brook, representing a place of inheritance and humility, served as a preparation ground for Elijah's future ministry. Davis highlights that true ministry begins with personal sanctification and obedience to God's word, as Elijah waited and trusted in God's provision. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to prioritize their private relationship with God to prepare for greater works.
