Passage: 1 Kings 17:7-24

The story is several thousand years old but it happens in Whatcom County every day. A single mom and her child are struggling. The economy is bad and their situation is bleak. They have run out of options and fear has them in its icy grip. God sends a friend to meet their need. But before the need is met, God asks for a small sign of trust. Will they do it? Will they go against conventional wisdom and depend on God's provision? Will they take a chance or play it safe? Will they pay the high cost of living or endure a lifetime of regret?
