What Does Elijah Do for the Widow

Why did God send Elijah to the widow?

God sent Elijah to Zarephath to a widow who, because of the drought and accompanying famine, was about to cook and eat the last meal she could provide for herself and her young son. Elijah could have walked in the door with a skin of water and a bag of food, but he was not given these resources.

What miracle did Elijah perform?

God also performed many miracles through Elijah, including resurrection, bringing fire down from the sky, and entering heaven alive “by fire”.
