Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Ezekiel 2:1-5; Psalm 123
2 Corinthians 12:2-10; Mark 6:1-13

The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to
the word of the Lord. 1 Kings 17:16

Do not keep striving for what you are to eat and what you are to drink, and do
not keep worrying. Your Father knows that you need them. Luke 12:29-30

Source of confidence, forgive us when we become worried and are filled with
doubt. We confess that it is our tendency to keep striving for what we need
because we believe that we are all-sufficient. You are the one we can trust.
Give us this day all that we need. Encourage us with the love that we experience
in the good Shepherd, our Savior Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray. Amen.

1 Kings 17:1-16 (NRSV)

Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the Lord the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." The word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Go from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." So he went and did according to the word of the Lord; he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the wadi. But after a while the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you." So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink." As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." But she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth." She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
