The Lord has placed you in the mind and in the spirit of someone who may not look the part, but they have been anointed just to sustain you. As a reminder, it is the anointing that destroys yokes, as stated in Isaiah 10:27.
CAUTION: The individual who has been dispatched to provide support may appear to require assistance themselves. Nonetheless, it is this divine connection ordained by God between both parties that will supply the essential resources to sufficiently meet your needs.
Scripture records that the word of the Lord came to Elijah, saying, "Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have COMMANDED a widow woman there to sustain thee" 1 Kings 17:9.
We would later learn in this same chapter that this same woman needed help herself. In fact when Elijah showed up the woman via her own admission said to Elijah that her son and herself were about to eat the last of what they had and then prepare to die, 1 Kings 17:12. Now, least we forget, 1 Kings 17:9 clearly stated that God told Elijah that he had commanded the widow woman to sustain him. Before we proceed further with this spiritual insight, let's define the word 'sustain'. The word sustain means to support, hold, or bear up from below; or to bear the weight of something. It also means to supply with food, drink, and other necessities of life.
Logically, one must ask, if to sustain means to provide assistance to others, then how was this obviously lacking in resources, woman supposed to sustain Elijah? Just like you and I, Elijah could have dismissed this woman based on her appearance or her obvious circumstances. However, it is clear that both parties ignored each other's physical positions and conditions, and were more interested in obeying the word of the Lord that was given to them, which would later produce the promises made by God to both parties.
As a reminder, God commanded Elijah to go to Zarephath, and God commanded the widow woman to sustain Elijah; both parties OBEYED THE COMMAND OF THE LORD. Elijah, as a prophet of God, declared the essential resources into the widow's life, not only due to their divine connection but more importantly because of their obedience to God. These resources sustained her and her son throughout the drought in Israel.
I'm here to tell anyone reading this that God has sent someone to support you. Please, do not make the mistake of judging what your help should look like, and thereby ignore or dismiss the help God has provided. It's also crucial to understand that the person sent to support you WILL COME SEEKING HELP FROM YOU or may seem to be in need of assistance! Remember, the help you give to your unassuming supporter is what will unlock the resources you need. Divine connections combined with obedience lead to provision!
"Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth" 1 Corinthians 10:24.
