The Lord is my supporter and my savior

1 Kings 17: 8-16
The widow at Zarephath listened to the word of Elijah and did as Elijah had told her. Even she don't have any bread - only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug.
Don't be afraid. Go home and do what you have said. But first  make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord said: The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.
 God provides for Elijah's needs first from nature and then through a most unlikely person in the unlikeliest of places. The widow is a foreigner with no one to support her, and Zarephath is in the heart of Baal's own county! By providing for Elijah this way, God also shows his care for the poorest of the poor.
Why?
God let Elijah knew that God provides him his needs and care the needs of the poor widow and her son. Even they had not any support, God is their way and support.
Obey and follow the word of God is the way of blessing under unlikeliest situation.
Who is the real God - He is the Lord in the past, now and the future.
How?
Do not forget that the Lord is my supporter and my savior.
