‏ 1 Kings 17:13-14

v. 13–15: Elijah asked the widow to make him a small cake first, promising her that God would provide for her if she trusted him (1 Kings 17:13-14 a). This was a big test of her faith. She had only enough for herself and her son, but she believed Elijah and obeyed. She trusted the promise from the God of Israel, even though she was a foreigner. She gave to Elijah first, showing real faith and generosity. Because she believed God’s word, she was blessed and rewarded for her faith (Numbers 15:20-21 b).
