Can you please take a moment to pause and read the passage from 1 Kings 17:8-24? Imagine yourself being present in that situation. Try to imagine you are the woman in such a situation.

Try to envision the immense pain and distress that this woman must be experiencing. In addition to experiencing deep sorrow over her husband's death, she now had to confront the grim reality that both she and her son would also pass away.

God had predetermined that she would be part of something even more amazing than anything her shattered heart could have ever conceived. Get this book and it will change your life.
