God has provided. God will provide.

Elijah asks a starving widow to feed him with the last morsel she and her son have to live on. Elijah nevertheless believes the Lord will feed him by her hand, and she obeys God’s command, even to feeding Elijah first. God did miraculously provide food for Elijah, the widow and her son throughout the drought.

Much later, in the presence of Christ and his disciples, a widow is moved to give her last penny, all she has to live on, in offering to God.

What demonstrations of devotion to God and trust in his future provision these women showed!

Just so God has provided for us, and always will. Our Savior, whom He promised from the moment sin came into the world, is the most wonderful provision of all. Let it be our joy and privilege to share this Good News with others. Great is His faithfulness!
