Description

The widow of Zarephath walks through a dry, rocky wilderness with her young son, carrying a bundle of sticks for a fire. The barren hills and sparse ground frame the hardship of famine, drawing attention to the small act of gathering fuel for what she believed would be her final meal. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah meets this widow and asks for water and bread; her obedience becomes the doorway to God’s provision as the flour and oil do not run out. The scene emphasizes trust in God during scarcity, humble faith before a miracle, and the Lord’s care for the vulnerable through prophetic promise.

Scriptures	1 Kings 17:10-16 Luke 4:25-26 1 Kings 17 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.
