How many times does our service to others cause us to be healed? Like the widow of Zarephath, our willingness to give to others first, may feed us through our time of need. Do this, but make me a little cake first, the prophet said and then the promise: For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.
Yes, we need to be humble enough to ask when we need help. We also need to be ready to serve, even when we are emotionally, spiritually and physically running on empty, and wait upon the Lord to renew our strength.
