The Widow's Last Meal

1 Kings 17:8-16 (NIV)

During a severe famine, Elijah met a widow gathering sticks. He asked her for water and bread. She said she only had a handful of flour and a little oil—enough for one last meal for her and her son before they died. Elijah told her, "Make me a small cake first, and then make some for yourself. The Lord will not let your flour run out or your oil dry up until the famine ends." She obeyed, and God miraculously provided for them every day. When you give God your last, He gives you everything.
