Commentary on 1 Kings 17:24

Theological / Devotional

By this I know. The widow had had a most unusual confirmation of the reliability of the word of the Lord. God had promised, and He had done to her according to His promise. The Lord’s promises are always sure. It is well for every child of God to hold fast the profession of his faith without wavering, “for he is faithful that promised” (Heb. 10:23). Even though the Lord may perform no miracles for us as He did for the Phoenician widow, there are thousands of ways by which every child of His may know that God’s Word is truth. God is as good, as powerful, as close to us today as He was to the widow of Zarephath, and as interested in supplying our every need (see Matt. 6:25-34).
