The voice in the above text was that of a woman speaking with the Prophet Elijah. She was a widow, a single parent with a son, engulfed in one of the severest droughts with famine ever recorded in the Bible. This widow, apparently, a poor one, was running on very low food reserves at home, just enough to last for only a day. Just think about the fact that the drought was going to prevail for many more months, and she had only a day’s supply of food reserves left. Sometimes, in this life, we do run low on essentials, low on cash when there are mounting house bills or school fees to pay, loans to settle, rent to pay, and other financial obligations to meet.
The widow said she was running so low that she was preparing to die, not to live. But that was the very moment that God sent the Prophet Elijah to speak life into the widow’s lifeless situation and to release supernatural supply over her household until the day the Lord sent rain on the earth. If you are reading this devotional and your individual cases are somehow in resemblance of that of the widow’s, then by the mercies of God, you are next in line for God’s divine intervention. You are about to experience how God makes a way when your back is against the wall, and everything points to a doomsday like that of the widow in today’s Bible reading.
Just as God did it for the widow and her son, He will do it for you no matter how hopeless your situation might seem. He will divinely intervene. There is nothing impossible with our God; and he will surely intervene in your issue and cause things to turn into your favour; in the mighty name of Jesus.
