1 Kings 17:7-16

After a while the stream dried up because there was no rain. Then the LORD spoke his word to Elijah, “Go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I have commanded a widow there to take care of you.” So Elijah went to Zarephath. When he reached the town gate, he saw a widow gathering wood for a fire. Elijah asked her, “Would you bring me a little water in a cup so I may have a drink?” As she was going to get his water, Elijah said, “Please bring me a piece of bread, too.” The woman answered, “As surely as the LORD your God lives, I have no bread. I have only a handful of flour in a jar and only a little olive oil in a jug. I came here to gather some wood so I could go home and cook our last meal. My son and I will eat it and then die from hunger.” “Don’t worry,” Elijah said to her. “Go home and cook your food as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread from the flour you have, and bring it to me. Then cook something for yourself and your son. The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘That jar of flour will never be empty, and the jug will always have oil in it, until the day the LORD sends rain to the land.’ ” So the woman went home and did what Elijah told her to do. And the woman and her son and Elijah had enough food every day. The jar of flour and the jug of oil were never empty, just as the LORD, through Elijah, had promised.
