1 KINGS 17 Our Inspiration In 1 Kings 17 the Prophet Elijah tells King Ahab of the coming drought and follows Gods instruction to flee the town and hide in a ravine where he is fed by the ravens for a year. However as the drought continues the brook runs dry and God instructs him to go to the town of Zarephath and the widow there. Upon arriving and meeting the widow he learns that she and her son have just enough flour and oil to make one final loaf of bread and have resigned themselves to their fate. Elijah instructs her to make the bread and bring him some and promises her the flour and oil will not run dry until the drought is over.
