The Miracle Meal

The widow gathered two sticks for a fire; she planned to prepare the final handful of meal and the little oil she had left. But God sent a prophet who asked her to take a step of faith: Would she make him a cake—first? What? In this drought she and her son had hardly any food left. But she believed the words of hope the man of God spoke, so she gave him the meager morsel. The prophecy came true: Miraculously, her meal at the bottom of the barrel lasted for many days; the oil flowed on as well; then came more showers of blessing with the falling of life-sustaining rain.

Are you staring at the bottom of your barrel, wondering what to do? We can choose to do what the widow did—we can trust and obey. Then we can watch while God makes a way!
