Trusting God in Scarcity
Aug 5, 2025 • Dr. Calvin M. Hooper
Reading: 1 Kings 17:8-16
Devotional: The widow of Zarephath faced a dire situation - her last meal before facing death. Yet, in this moment of scarcity, God asked her to give first. Her obedience, born out of faith, led to a miracle of abundance.
Where in your life do you feel scarcity? It might be in your finances, relationships, or spiritual life. God often calls us to trust Him most when we feel we have the least to give. Today, consider what "last bit of flour and oil" God might be asking you to offer in faith. Remember, our God is Jehovah Jireh - the Lord who provides.
Prayer: Father, help me trust You even when I feel I have nothing left to give. Increase my faith to see Your abundance in my scarcity.
