I ask you: Do you want things to go on as usual, or do you want to see God do something unusual?

Every person God used in the Old Testament and the New Testament and in Church history over the last two thousand years has had to go outside his or her comfort zone.

The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.” We do not know why this Gentile widow should have believed this, but she did. “She went away and did as Elijah had told her.” This part of the Elijah story is important because it not only continues to demonstrate patience in disappointment but also shows how faith is sometimes spelled R-I-S-K. Risk means “to accept or expose yourself to possible harm or loss.” So the question becomes, Who took the greater risk, Elijah or the widow? Elijah risked being extremely impertinent and putting her off entirely. The widow risked depleting her last bit of food.
