The Widow of Zarephath: The Woman Who Shared Her Last Meal

1 Kings 17

In a faraway town called Zarephath, there lived a woman who had only a little food left. The land was dry and there had not been rain for a long time. One day, God sent His prophet Elijah to her house. Elijah was hungry and asked, “Could you please bring me some water and a little bread?” The woman said, “I have only a handful of flour and a few drops of oil. I was going to make one last meal for my son and I.” But Elijah told her, “Don’t be afraid. Make some bread for me first, and God will make sure you never run out of flour or oil.” The woman trusted God and did as Elijah said. Every day after that, her jar of flour and jug of oil were full again! God took care of her and her son because she chose to share.
