The Widow’s Fast starts today! ❤️
This month we are focusing on the story of the widow in 1 Kings 17:8–16. Though she had needs of her own, she was willing to give in obedience to God and serve the man of God. What began as a situation of lack became a testimony of God’s provision.
Elijah listened for God’s voice, followed His direction, and spoke a word of faith. The widow first spoke of her problem, but God responded with a promise. Through obedience to the Word of God, her scarcity was transformed into abundance.
When we trust God, even in seasons of need, He is faithful to provide. Our obedience opens the door for His miracles, and what seems impossible becomes an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power.
