Elijah’s faith faced another test. At Kerith Brook, God directly provided for him. When those supplies stopped, Elijah had to rely on a foreign woman's reaction to a divine test. The story has four parts:
The setting (1 Kings 17:8–10a).
Elijah’s test for the widow (1 Kings 17:10b–14).
The woman’s obedience (1 Kings 17:15).
God’s reward (1 Kings 17:15–16).
