Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • The flour and the oil do not run out. What does God do with what we give away?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • She was planning to eat that meal and die. Why is it hardest to be generous when you have least?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • What do you have very little of — time, snacks, patience? Who will you share it with anyway?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who has less than you? What is one thing you will give them this week?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, she had enough flour for one small loaf and she made it for somebody else first. Help me give when I do not feel like I have enough.
