The land was dry, and the sun scorched the earth as famine gripped Zarephath. A widow stood at the city gate, gathering sticks, her heart heavy with despair. She had just enough flour and oil left to make a final meal for herself and her son before they succumbed to hunger. Then, a stranger approached—a man of God named Elijah.

"Please bring me a little water in a cup," he asked. As she turned to fetch it, he called out again, "And bring me a piece of bread in your hand." — 1 Kings 17:10-11

Her heart must have wavered—how could she give what little she had? But Elijah spoke the word of the Lord: "The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth." (1 Kings 17:14). In faith, she obeyed, sharing her last bit of food. And just as God had promised, her flour and oil never ran out. She had chosen to be a vessel through which God’s provision could flow, and in doing so, she was sustained.

This widow’s story teaches us a profound truth: when we hold onto what little we have, fearing scarcity, we limit what God can do. But when we trust Him and allow His blessings to flow through us, we become part of a divine cycle of provision.

Could it be that the Widow of Zarephath did not ask for selfish gain but to become a vessel of God’s goodness, a conduit of His divine favor? If so, how does this apply to us today? What happens when we, like the widow, seek to be filled with God’s blessings—do we let them overflow to others, or do we hoard them for ourselves?
