Description

Elijah sits with his staff beside a large oil jar and a basket of flour as the widow of Zarephath stands before him in a radiant command of faith. The humble provisions in the foreground point directly to the miracle recorded in 1 Kings 17, when the prophet asked a destitute widow for bread during famine and declared that her jar of flour and jug of oil would not fail until the Lord sent rain upon the land. The woman’s extended hand and the shining light around her emphasize divine instruction, obedience, and the surprising place where God provides for His servant. This artwork is suited for teaching on providence, sacrificial hospitality, prophetic ministry, famine, and trusting God with what appears to be too little.

Scriptures	1 Kings 17:8-16 Luke 4:25-26 1 Kings 17 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 And she said, “As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain upon the earth.’” 15 And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah. Luke 4 25 But in truth, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were shut up three years and six months, and a great famine came over all the land, 26 and Elijah was sent to none of them but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
