In 1 Kings 17, we see the prophet Elijah’s miraculous encounters during a time of drought. Here’s a summary with key verses:

1. Verses 1-7: Elijah predicts a drought to King Ahab as punishment for Israel’s sins. God commands Elijah to hide by the Brook Cherith, where he’s fed by ravens.
2. Verses 8-16: God directs Elijah to Zarephath, where a widow shares her last meal with him. Miraculously, her flour and oil don’t run out during the entire drought.
3. Verses 17-24: The widow’s son becomes ill and dies. Elijah prays to God, and the boy is revived.

Life applications:

• Faith in God’s provision: Like Elijah, trust that God will provide even in the midst of scarcity.
• Compassion and generosity: Learn from the widow’s selflessness in sharing her last resources with Elijah.
• Prayer and dependence on God: When facing challenges, turn to God in prayer, believing in His power to intervene and bring about miracles.
