1 Kings 17:
Elijah Enters The Scene.
AKA: Hey world, meet Elijah the Tishbite.
Elijah the Tishbite was the only one who would stand up to, and confront King Ahab, and Queen Jezebel. He was bold in the Lord, and he was "bold" because he "feared God", and because he "feared God", he did not "fear man".
Elijah is told to go to Zarephath to see a widow. So he does. He sees the widow, and he asks her for not only water, but a bit of bread. The widow tells him that she is on her last bit of meal and she and her son will eat that last bit of bread she makes, and will just die, because there is no other food after that. Elijah tells her to fear not, for they won't die. She believes him, makes the bread, gives Elijah the first portion of it, and then she and her son eat.
God sustained not only Elijah, but this widow and her son through the drought, as her flour, and oil never ran empty.
In addition, the widow's son got sick and died. Elijah prayed, and God restored the boy.
(What a riveting introduction to Elijah this is.)
