"Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
"Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.
And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
1 Kings 17:2-4 (NKJV)
There are many ways to locate and contact people, but without any contact information, it is difficult to know where someone is. If you can locate and contact someone, you can talk with them, give them any necessary information, or give them anything that they might need. If you do not know where someone is or how to contact them, then of course you would not be able to tell them anything, or give them anything. Being able to locate and contact someone is the first step to doing anything with them, or for them.
While most, if not all, Christians understand the concepts of God being present everywhere and God knowing all things, they do not always act that way. Sometimes, especially when there are challenges in life, believers feel as though they are alone and without the help they need to overcome whatever situation they may be facing. But the wonderful truth is that God knows where we are and how to get us what we need in our life. We sometimes think that it is all up to us to go someplace or do something to get what we need from God, but God can help us right where we are.
As James 5:17 tells us, although Elijah was a prophet, he was just as human as any of us and he too had things that he needed. God knew where Elijah was when He told Elijah to go to the Brook Cherith, where God would provide for Elijah. God knew where Elijah was, God knew how to get Elijah to where he needed to be, and God was able to provide what Elijah needed right where he was. The next time you face a challenge, remember that God knows where you are now, and He can help you right where you are, with whatever you may need.
