She went away and did as Elijah had told her. — 1 Kings 17:15
Faith comes in many different colors and styles. But one of the most powerful forms of faith is doing what God tells you to do, even when it doesn’t make any sense.
It didn’t make sense for this widow to give most of her last meal to a traveling prophet, but she did it anyway. It didn’t make sense for the widow in Jesus’ day to give to the temple everything she had to live on. But she did it anyway.
Jesus said that the gate to eternal life is narrow. The Christian life will sometimes squeeze us, and force us to choose a painful path we would rather avoid. But God knows that we cannot haul our own self-sufficiency through those narrow doors. We give up. We give away. And then we enter into God’s abundance.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
