“Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon....”

Sidon was a Phoenician city, so it was pagan.

Notice that the widow says:

“As surely as the LORD YOUR God lives,” so she did recognize that the God of Israel was separate and apart from whatever gods she had................

Good Morning Dan, and good mid-week to all.

Wonderful examples of service to God. #23 Thomas is a beauty.

Thank You Dan!

#11
the widow is looking directly into the eyes of the people who are admiring the painting

like she is petitioning us for honest living
asking us to examine ourselves - would we would give all?

and she boldly gets away with this intrusion into our hearts and minds because she is so young and very beautiful
