When Your World Falls Apart

God has worked in miraculous ways to sustain the young prophet and now, a widow and her son. Every meal that Elijah shared with the woman and her son must have been a sheer delight, for every meal was literally provided by the hand of God. And then, the unthinkable happened. The young boy became sick and died. What do you do when your world falls apart? The distraught widow makes it clear that she is upset at Elijah and at God. Why would God bring such calamity on her home after bringing such hope? Elijah responds with silence and then in prayer, taking the boy to the place that Elijah regularly met with God. Big Idea: When our world falls apart, and God is all we have, we have all we’ve ever needed. (1 Kings 17:17-24)
