Reading I 1 Kings 17:7-16 The brook near where Elijah was hiding ran dry,because no rain had fallen in the land.So the LORD said to Elijah:“Move on to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there.I have designated a widow there to provide for you.”He left and went to Zarephath.As he arrived at the entrance of the city,a widow was gathering sticks there; he called out to her,“Please bring me a small cupful of water to drink.”She left to get it, and he called out after her,“Please bring along a bit of bread.”She answered, “As the LORD, your God, lives,I have nothing baked;there is only a handful of flour in my jarand a little oil in my jug.Just now I was collecting a couple of sticks,to go in and prepare something for myself and my son;when we have eaten it, we shall die.”Elijah said to her, “Do not be afraid.Go and do as you propose.But first make me a little cake and bring it to me.Then you can prepare something for yourself
