Man is a logical being and so, he often make decisions based on reasoning. While this is good; it does not always represent the ideal way God works. As believers, we walk by faith and not by sight. The more we set our gaze on the physical, the more we lose faith in the supernatural. God told Elijah that He had commanded a widow in Zarephath to feed him.

However, we see that when Elijah arrived at the widow’s place whom God said was going to feed him, she actually had just one portion of meal left. In fact, it was the very last meal for herself and her son to eat, and then die.
What a contradiction from God! The story quickly takes a glorious turn as we see that the widow amazingly obeyed the instruction of the prophet to provide for him first. The rest they say is history, as she never lacked again. What a God we serve!

In our present day, most people, especially the social media would have strongly castigated the prophet as being self-centered and lacking empathy, not knowing that God was involved in the transaction to multiply that which was in the hands of the widow. In your life, fear should never be what determines your action neither should social and economic conditions have the upper hand in your decisions. The widow was in a worse situation that you probably might ever be! You can sow your way out of that situation and be placed in a position of advantage today. Glory to God!
