Main point: I can trust God no matter what.
Bible story: Elijah and the Widow ● 1 Kings 17:1-16

As a family, read “Elijah and the Widow” (1 Kings 17:1-16) from the Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, discuss these questions together:

• What happened in the Bible story? (God told Elijah to go to a town, and a woman there would have food. When Elijah saw her, he asked her for water and bread, but she only had enough to make one last bit of bread for her son and herself. Elijah told her God promised they would have enough food.)
• When the woman baked bread for Elijah and looked in her jars, she had more flour and oil! God kept His promise and they had enough food — they could trust God. Can you trust God no matter what? (yes)

This week, engage in everyday moments to continue the conversation: 

• • Morning Time: When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say, “Good morning, (child’s name)! Do you know why today is a GREAT day? God loves you, and God loves me!”
  • Cuddle Time: Cuddle with your child and pray, “Dear God, sometimes things happen that make us feel sad or mad, worried or afraid. Thank You that we can trust You no matter what. Happy or sad, You love us, and You’ve got it! In Jesus’ name, amen.”
  • Bath Time: Add toy food items and toy dishes to bath time. Ask your child to pretend they are a chef and to cook food. While you play together, talk about how Elijah and the woman trusted God for their food and how God made their food not run out!
  • Drive Time: While on the go, ask, “If you could have one food never run out, what would it be?” Talk about how God made the oil and flour not run out for Elijah, the woman, and her son so they could make bread to eat.
