I Kings 17: 15-16 ” She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food everyday for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.”

God had told Elijah to travel to Zarephath and a widow would supply him with food during a severe drought.  When Elijah asked the woman for bread she replied she had only a handful of flour and a little oil left.  Then Elijah prophesied that the jar of flour and the flask of oil wouldn’t run out until the Lord brought rain.  At that moment the widow had two choices…allow fear to rule in her life, or step out in faith and believe God.  Everyday fear will make us choose between Fearing the Enemy And Running  or  Facing the Enemy And Rising.
