1 Kings 17:8-24
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” 11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.”
13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’”
15 And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
17 After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18 And she said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!”
19 And he said to her, “Give me your son.” And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed. 20 And he cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?”
21 Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again.”
22 And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother.
And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.”
24 And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
This year has been one of unexpected journeys. Changes. Disappointments. Great Stress.
The word proves true in this passage. With news being much more quick to publish, we have all types of examples of people donating organs who begin to come to life, even after rigor mortis and dark, dark liver mortis. Impossible life.
Infants born without any sign of life are wept and held against their mother's warm skin and life, for reasons known to God Himself, come to life again. We are the generation who recognize 1 Kings 17. These babies we can find easily are: Yasmin Gomes, Rose Servin, James Engstrom, Logan Carroll, Ella Claxton, Robin Cyr, Jacob Tomkin, David Ring, Mary Ellen James.
Days when something fabulous happens - Occur.
We live knowing God will bring these days in all the lives of believers of Jesus Christ. We pray for sooner rather than later.

When we start placing our prayers suddenly, it's far from unusual for all the circumstances to move wildly about before settling on the Compass direction North. I'd suppose this defense-filled feeling of attack, is a lot like being in the boat with Jesus.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
