Many know the story of Jonah and the whale. But few know of unnamed people in the Bible who acted courageously as well. Here’s a quiz question. Who is this widow?
A man of God saved my sons life– twice.
Hint: She was starving, collecting wood to cook their last meal and Elijah asked her for water. No cost, only effort. And then he asked her for bread. A sacrifice! Her story is inspiring. This gentile widow responded to the request of Jewish man. God reached to a gentile widow! Widow or not, you’ll be inspired to see that God can work in the worst of circumstances, loving people others do not notice.
