A New Vision for a New Season

1 Kings 17:13-16

13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.

14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.

15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.

There are two principles in operation here, faith and obedience. If we notice the scripture does not say that the Lord filled the woman with faith so she could be obedient or that her obedience built her faith. She just did what she heard the Prophet say and walked in faith and obedience together to eat for "many days". It truly started a new season in her life and stored up a blessings for the future.

Provision for the Vision

1Kings17:10-12

10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.

12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

Now you can see that the Prophet had faith where the woman did not. The woman only had faith that she had enough to eat to then die. And here is the Prophet asking her to feed him. So again think of what we said before about the gifts that we all bring to the table to make the cake. Some will sacrifice finances to bring those gifts. Some will be gifts of love and talent and time. But all will be the pro before the vision, the provision. As you read this take it day by day and pray. See what the Lord says to you at this time.
