Take a moment and read 1 Kings 17:7–24. I love to see how God is faithful to provide in unexpected ways. I love that this widow gives out of her own need, and God provides her with more than she can imagine. I love that Elijah experiences grace through the hand of another and that both are blessed as a result.
I have experienced the same miracle but not necessarily in the same way. Rather, my miracle of having my needs met has been much more through the community of faith who add to my jar. A bit of encouragement here. An anonymous financial gift here. A sprinkle of laughter and a smidge of prayer. A dollop of rides for my kids and a generous serving of text messages and calls.
But here’s the thing; just like the widow, we have to make our needs known. We must be willing to say, “I only have this much to give right now” or “I am in need of these things.” And I believe the same God who provided for the widow will be faithful to make our jars overflow as well.
How has God provided for you in unexpected ways? Take a few moments and thank the Lord today for the miracle of His provision.
