Key Verse:

“The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.”

— 1 Kings 17:16

Rooted Truth:

God’s provision never runs dry when we trust His Word.

Faith Story:

During a severe famine, the widow at Zarephath had only a handful of flour and a little oil left—just enough for one last meal for her and her son. Then Elijah asked her to make bread for him first, promising that the flour and oil would not run out. In faith, she obeyed, and God miraculously provided until the famine ended.

George Müller, who cared for thousands of orphans in 19th-century England, lived by this same trust. He never asked for funds but prayed for every need. Time and again, food and resources arrived at the exact moment they were required. Müller’s life testified that God is still Jehovah Jireh—the Lord who provides.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Genesis 22:14 – “So Abraham called the name of that place, ‘The LORD will provide’…”

Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 6:11 – “Give us this day our daily bread…”

Daily Practice:

Think about one area where you’re tempted to worry about provision. Instead of stressing, thank God in advance for how He will provide, and look for ways He may already be meeting your need.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, You are my Provider. Teach me to trust You for daily bread and to rest in the truth that You never run out of resources. Strengthen my faith to believe that You will always supply what I truly need. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Where do you struggle most to trust God’s provision?

• How does God’s past faithfulness give you confidence for today?

• What might change in your heart if you viewed every need as an opportunity to see God provide?
