1 Kings 17:14 For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.
You may remember the story of Elijah, God's prophet during a time of great drought. He went to stay with a poor widow in Zarephath who was going to cook a death-meal for she and her only son with the last bit of meal and oil she had. Then the two were going to eat their last meal, lay down, and die. Elijah promised her that this plan wasn't going to work out quite the way she had thought.
Here above we have Elijah's promise to her: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth.
Do you feel at the end of your rope? Does your jar of meal feel almost empty? Are you scraping the bottom of the oil jug? Just hang on. It won't run out. I'm going to print this promise on a slip of paper and carry it in my wallet - that way, when I open that which feels to be emptying, the promise will be there. Want to join me?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
