“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8).

“I don’t have any bread, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug.” (1 Kings 17:12). But God kept speaking: “”Don’t be afraid…make… bread…For this is what the Lord…says, “The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry…” (1 Kings 17:14) And sure enough the widow “…went away and did as she was told. [And bingo]…there was food every day [not only] for Elijah – [but also] for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord…” (1 Kings 17:15-16).

For “I am the Lord, the God of all…” God says to Jeremiah. “Is anything too hard for me?(Jeremiah 32:26).
