S –  Then Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son, ¹⁴ for this is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.’ ” 

¹⁵ So she proceeded to do according to the word of Elijah. Then the woman, Elijah, and her household ate for many days

1 Kings 17:13–15 CSB

O – Commentary:

Elijah calmed her fears of himself, her hunger, and her imminent death. He asked her to feed him first … and then use what was left to feed herself and her son. Then he gave her a promise on the authority of the word of God: she would have food until the drought ended.

Her obedient response demonstrated her faith in the word of the Lord. The Lord honored her faith by fulfilling His promise miraculously. This miracle of God’s continually supplying flour and olive oil was another polemic (protest) against Baal, just as was the drought. Baal-worshipers believed he was a fertility god, giving rain to make crops grow. But he could not overcome the drought to make wheat and olive trees grow. Only the true God could provide flour and oil in a drought!

“1 Kings,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – What an amazing faith to believe with your last amount of food to give it to God first.   I want to have faith like this.  I want to know and trust completely like this.  

R – Heavenly Father, there is no God that is equal to you.  You are limitless and nothing is too hard for you.  Help us to grow in our faith and trust in you in all situations.  We know that you are good and your plans for us are for our good.
