I Kings 17:22



I Kings 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. The widow of Zarephath Obeyed Elijah and she and her little boy were saved from a slow, painful death of starvation. But after a few months, the boy became sick and died. The widow was beside herself with grief. She cried aloud to Elijah, “Why has God saved my boy from starvation only to let him die from a fever? This doesn’t make sense to me!” Elijah felt her pain. He carried the boy up to his room and began to pray to the Lord. As he prayed, the little boy’s lifeless body began to warm up again. Then he moved just ever so slightly. Elijah smiled and continued to pray, but now he was thanking the good Lord for performing a miracle! The boy sat up and Elijah delivered him to his joyful mother. God heard the widow’s cry, God heard Elijah’s cry, and God will hear your cry too! If you ever have a huge need that is bigger than life; take it to the Lord. He will answer, and He will meet your need! Amen! Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday, Mary Kate!
