Here is today’s Bible reading: 1 Kings 15:25-17:24; Acts 10:23b-48; Psalm 134:1-3; Proverbs 17:9-11.
Proverbs 17:10 (NIV)
A rebuke impresses a man of discernment
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
One of the greatest character traits we can possess is a humble, teachable spirit.
1 Kings 17:13-14 (NIV)
Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. [14] For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.’ ”
What a great story. The woman is preparing to die of starvation with her son. Elijah shows up and asks for food. The woman acts in faith and makes food for Elijah. God honors her faith and experiences miraculous provision. What step of faith is God leading you to take today?
