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

God instructs Elijah to travel to a specific town saying that He has given instructions to a widow to care for him. Elijah does not question God’s instructions but simply goes to find her. As Elijah 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 Elijah “I only have a morsel 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 Endless!

Elijah 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 Elijah’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, it is more than likely YOU that God is trying to provide the blessing for.
