Sometimes God uses "unconventional conduits" to channel His blessings to us.
Perfect example is in I Kings 17 when God sent Elijah to the Cherith Brook from where ravens would feed him with meat and bread twice a day. After a while, the brook dried up due to the drought and God sent Elijah to a widow in Zarephath to feed him.
The first "unconventional conduit" God used to bless Elijah was the omnivorous raven that brought him meat. God could have used a strictly herbivorous bird but He chose not to.
The second "unconventional conduit" He used was the poor widow as she could not even feed her one son let alone another mouth for on meeting Elijah, she told him that she was preparing to die of starvation after their last meal. God could have used a rich person but He chose not to.
Has God ever used an "unconventional" or "unusual" conduit to channel His blessings to you?
