‏ 1 Kings 17:15-16

v. 15–16: The widow’s faith was rewarded. As Elijah had promised, her jar of meal and jug of oil never ran out. They had enough food for many days (1 Kings 17:15-16 a). God multiplied what they had every day, not in storing up, but as they used it. This miracle kept Elijah, the widow, and her son alive through the whole famine. It shows that when we trust God and give to others, He provides for us in return (2 Corinthians 9:10; Haggai 1:9 b). God’s promises are true—in the days of famine they shall be satisfied (Psalm 37:19 c).
