The land is in drought. King Ahab has led Israel into worshiping Baal, and the rain has stopped. God sends the prophet Elijah into hiding by a desert brook — and tells him the ravens will feed him there. Morning and evening, the black birds bring him bread and meat. When the brook dries up, Elijah is sent to a foreign widow with nothing but a handful of flour and a little oil. He asks her for the last meal in her house. She gives — and the jar of flour does not run out, and the jug of oil does not fail, for as long as the drought lasts. This is a comic about how God provides through the most unexpected couriers, including the ones who have the least.
