Creative activities based on the Bible story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath
In 1 Kings chapter 17, we find the story of the widow of Zarephath, a woman who showed great faith and hospitality to the prophet Elijah during a time of drought and famine. Elijah asked the widow for food and water, even though she only had a small amount of flour and oil left. But the widow trusted in God and gave what little she had to Elijah, and miraculously her jar of flour and jug of oil never ran out. This story teaches us the importance of trusting in God's provision, even in difficult times, and the power of faith and hospitality to bless others.
