(1 Kings 17:7-9). When Elijah came to the gate of the city, the widow was there gathering sticks.

And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” So he went and did according to the word of the LORD, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith.. . — 1 Kings 17:4-5 (NKJV) The prophet Elijah did as the LORD told him, and the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and in the evening; and he drank from the brook (1Kings 17:6).

He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
