Amid God's work in our lives, we will face contradictions to our faith—times when God doesn't work the way that we expect Him to. AfterGod miraculously provided Elijah food through a widow, her son unexpectedly died (1 Kings 17:17-24). The widow blamed Elijah for her son’s death. The accusation and contradiction initially rattled Elijah, but he chose to persevere in prayer and took the widow’s son to the upperroom in their home. There, he cried out to God and prayed fervently for the boy’s resurrection. God answered Elijah’s prayer and brought the boy back to life, which left no doubt to the widow that Elijah’s God is the one true God. This event gave Elijah greater confidence to face greater challenges later on.
