GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, and GOD of Jacob ~ (Exodus 3:6)

This is one Name God wants to be remembered by in all generations (Exodus 3:15).  It expresses who He is to His people.  God proved Himself as a Covenant-Keeping God by keeping the promise He made to Abraham to give him a son and make a great nation out of him. He proved Himself as a Faithful God, when He provided a ram to be sacrificed instead of Isaac.  He proved Himself as a Merciful God, when He changed Jacob's name to Israel, and gave him a new life.

God made a covenant first in Abraham, and renewed it in Isaac and Jacob. If you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's spiritual seed and an heir of his blessings (Galatians 3:29). Let it be known that God is faithful to all His promises, and unchangeable in His nature.

The birds of the air do GOD's bidding. ~ Reference (1 Kings 17:4-6)

God ordered ravens to feed Elijah at the Brook Cherith. The ravens brought found to Elijah day and night. God could have sent angels to deliver food to Elijah, but chose to use mean creatures instead.  

God has control over the mightiest and the smallest creatures, and can use them as He pleases to accomplish His purpose.
