Never Empty

After a while, the stream dried up because there had been
no rain in the land. The Lord told him,
“Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there.
I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”
So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through
the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called 

out to her, “Please give me a cup of water, so I can take a drink.”
As she went to get it, he called out to her,
“Please bring me a piece of bread.”
She said, “As certainly as the Lord your God lives,
I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and
A little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of
sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal
for my son and myself. After we have eaten that,
we will die of starvation.”
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned.
But first make a small cake for me and bring it to me;
then make something for yourself and your son.
For this is what the Lord God of Israel says,
‘The jar of flour will not be empty and the jug of oil 

will not run out until the day the Lord makes it rain on the 

surface of the ground.’”
She went and did as Elijah told her; there was always 

enough food for Elijah and for her and her family.
The jar of flour was never empty and the jug of oil 

never ran out, just as 

the Lord had promised through Elijah.”
