“The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry…” 1 Kings 17:14

God tells Isaiah to travel to a specific town saying that He has given instructions to a widow to care for him. At this point I’m already fascinated as God did not send Isaiah to a wealthy person to meet his provisional needs, He sends him to a poor widow. Wisely, Isaiah does not question God’s instructions but simply goes to find her. As Isaiah arrives the woman seems to have missed God’s instructions for she’s happy to give him water, but as for anything more she tells Isaiah “I only have a morsal of flour and oil and was about to bake a loaf of bread that my son and I can eat before we die”. Truly she’s beyond poor, but she is also about to realize that

God’s Supply Is Limitless!

Isaiah says to her, “If you share the bread with me, your flour and oil jars will never go empty.” Indeed, this is exactly what transpires. God could have chosen all manner of ways to provide for Isaiah’s next meal, but He chose this widow as she was really the one that needed the blessing. All she had to do was open her hand and share to receive it. The next time you have an opportunity to provide for someone in need, it is more than likely YOU that God is trying to provide the blessing for. God supply is limitless when we open our hand and let what He has already given to us flow freely to others.
