Faith and obedience are two sides of the same coin. Consider the widow of Zarephath. Pay careful attention to the sequence of events. First the Lord spoke through Elijah telling her what to do. The word of the Lord birthed faith in her heart producing obedience–“She went away and did as Elijah had told her…” (1 Kings 17:15). Faith and obedience opened the windows of heaven for her.
“So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family…in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.”
— 1 Kings 17:15-16
Lord Jesus, help us to be willing to give what we have in order to receive what we so desperately need. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
