Monday Devotional
Song
Teach Me to Walk in the Light (Children’s #177)
Scripture
Discussion
- After King David and King Solomon, all of the kingdom of Israel was in disarray. 10 of the tribes formed the North Kingdom (Israel), and 2 tribes formed the South (Judah).
- King Ahab led Israel, and he was wicked. The Lord sent a famine to try to call the people to repentance.
- At first it might seem hard to understand why the prophet Elijah asked the widow in Zarephath to give him food and water before feeding herself and her starving son.
- But Elijah’s request could also be seen as a blessing for this small family. They needed the Lord’s blessings, and sacrifice often brings blessings—including the blessing of stronger faith.
- Put yourself in the widow’s place, and also her son’s place. How would they have felt?
- How do we feel when we are asked to sacrifice?
Journal Entry
How can I follow the widow’s example?

- The woman had great faith to ask Elijah for help again. She could have become angry that something bad had happened to her son after she helped the prophet, but she didn’t.
- Our loved ones may not come back to life immediately, but because of Jesus Christ, we will all be resurrected.
- Sometimes bad things happen to good people. They won’t all be fixed in this life, but we can trust that God loves us and feels compassion for us.
