Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
During drought and famine, the widow's jar of flour and jug of oil never ran out, exactly as the Lord had promised through Elijah.
God's provision doesn't always come as dramatic abundance but sometimes as daily sufficiency that never fails. The widow needed flour and oil each day, and each day they were there. This sustained miracle shows God's attention to daily needs and His power to multiply small resources into lasting provision.
