經文: 罈內的麵果不減少，瓶�的油也不缺短，正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。（列王紀上十七：16）

請看上帝的愛是何等信實！這位婦人有每日生活所需，她要在饑荒期間餵飽自己和兒子。現在，她還要供養先知以利亞。雖然需要倍加，但是她的食物之供應源源不斷。每天，她從同一個罈中取麵作餅，但是每日留在罈中的麵並沒有減少。你同樣也有每日所需，因為你經常有需要，你可能擔心有一日罈中的麵會用罄，瓶�的油也會滴乾。儘可放心，根據上帝的話，這事永不會臨到你。縱然你比瑪土撒拉更長壽、縱然你的需要如海灘的沙一般多，上帝的恩典與慈愛將維持你一生所需，永不缺乏。在這位寡婦所經歷的三年之中，天上從未出現一片雲，星星也從未眨眼掉下一滴露珠在這邪惡的世上。饑餓、荒蕪與死亡使得大地變為淒涼的曠野。但是這位婦人因有充足的口糧常常喜樂。你也會有相同的經驗。你將見到罪人因依靠自己的力量而希望破滅。你也將見到驕傲的法利賽人，因將希望建造在沙上而自信崩潰。你甚至會見到自己的計畫毀滅枯萎了，卻能在救恩的磐石中尋得防禦之處。

Evening, February 28

Scripture: "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."(1 Kings 17:16)

See the faithfulness of divine love. You observe that this woman had daily necessities. She had herself and her son to feed in a time of famine; and now, in addition, the prophet Elijah was to be fed too. But though the need was threefold, yet the supply of meal wasted not, for she had a constant supply. Each day she made calls upon the barrel, but yet each day it remained the same. You, dear reader, have daily necessities, and because they come so frequently, you are apt to fear that the barrel of meal will one day be empty, and the cruse of oil will fail you. Rest assured that, according to the Word of God, this shall not be the case. Each day, though it bring its trouble, shall bring its help; and though you should live to outnumber the years of Methuselah, and though your needs should be as many as the sands of the seashore, yet shall God's grace and mercy last through all your necessities, and you shall never know a real lack. For three long years, in this widow's days, the heavens never saw a cloud, and the stars never wept a holy tear of dew upon the wicked earth: famine, and desolation, and death, made the land a howling wilderness, but this woman never was hungry, but always joyful in abundance. So shall it be with you. You shall see the sinner's hope perish, for he trusts his native strength; you shall see the proud Pharisee's confidence totter, for he builds his hope upon the sand; you shall see even your own schemes blasted and withered, but you yourself shall find that your place of defence shall be the munition of rocks: "Your bread shall be given you, and your water shall be sure." Better have God for your guardian, than the Bank of England for your possession. You might spend the wealth of the Indies, but the infinite riches of God you can never exhaust.
