Topic: Willingness (02/21/05)
“It’s cold and we are hungry, my son and I, I’ll gather the wood to prepare one last meal to die.

My flour is few and my water as little as dew, I have not much to share mister for my son, myself and you.

But as you have asked I will give my last and do without, for you have just spoken that God will send rain on this drought.

So now I humbly prepare your bread in hopes that my son and I will also be fed.

As I start to pour the meal from my jar, it overflows and has not been empty thus far. The oil in my flask continues to flow, for this was truly God’s work I surely know.”


“The jar of meal didn't run out and the bottle of oil didn't become empty: GOD's promise fulfilled to the letter, exactly as Elijah had delivered it!”

1Kings 17:16

Your poetic telling of this story is very concise, but it shows such evidence of God's faithfulness. I liked it.

God bless you.

It took me a while to see the poem! I think if you structure it as a poem it would work so much better. I like that lesson in willingness!

I realized after reading the fourth line that I was reading a poem, which looked like prose. This was a good effort and brought out the story very concisely.
