Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath

 1 Kings 17:8-20:22

The Widow of Zarephath

Then the word of the Lord came to him, “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” 15 And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke. -‐----------------------------------------------------        When you asked me what I was doing I was doing this research on Elijah the Prophet of Israel and a widow. Elijah was hungry. He came to this widow home and asked her for food and she didn’t have any for him, just a little for her and her son.  ‐------------------------------      You are Elijah I am the widow without food. Elijah asked her for something to eat and the woman told him that she only had a little flour and oil to feed herself and her son. The Prophet promised that if he shared his food with him, it would not run out. The widow had faith in the prophet Elijah and shared his food. ‐‐‐‐------'---------------------------------- ----   I don't have the money you are asking me. But I'm going to do like the widow of Sarephta.

 according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah
