1 Kings 16-18

This passage is full of subtle displays of God power over kings and flour jars. Ahab brought a queen and her idols from Sidon into God's promised land. So while there was punishment on the land, via drought, God hid his prophet in the land of Sidon. While Elijah was there he found a poor widow who feared God and took him in. I wonder if she emptied the flour jar everyday or was there still a little flour leftover when she want to bed? I picture her pouring the entire contents of the jars of flour and oil into a mixing basin. Then the next day she opens the jar to find the total amount of flour to feed her family for that day. In the same way God renews our strength in him day by day.
It took me about 21 minutes to read this passage.
