Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Worried about provision because your bank account won’t stretch to pay the bills? Do you think that what you have is insufficient  to meet your needs? No matter what the situation, Yahweh promises to provide for those who trust and obey him.

No matter, if there is a drought and no water for the crops, Yahweh sustains and takes care of you. It did not rain in Israel for 3 1/2 years, due to their failure to worship and depend on Yahweh and instead worshiped idols. Elijah, the prophet of Yahweh, followed his instructions, to go to a foreign town, where a widow would feed him. Elijah met the widow who was gathering wood for cooking her and her son’s last meal. She believed the prophet and provided him with water and bread before feeding her family. Her trust and faith in Yahweh, resulted in her little flour and oil, sustaining her household, until it rained and crops harvested. She obeyed Yahweh, provided for Yahweh’s prophet and Yahweh provided for her and her family. Her handful of flour and small amount of oil never ran out.

Yahweh loves you, and sustains those who have faith, in his provision, through seasons of drought. Believe and trust him, as your provider, not letting fear rule. Vision him, as your provision.

Then Elijah told her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home, and do as you’ve said. But first make a small loaf and bring it to me. Then prepare something for yourself and your son. This is what Yahweh Elohim of Israel says: Until Yahweh sends rain on the land, the jar of flour will never be empty and the jug will always contain oil.” She did what Elijah had told her. So she, Elijah, and her family had food for a long time. The jar of flour never became empty, and the jug always contained olive oil, as Yahweh had promised through Elijah. (1 Kings 17:13-16 NOG)
