1. In our last study we traveled with Elijah to Zarephath. Elijah would spend approximately two years in Zarephath. God sent him to Zarephath after a year spent at Cherith.

3. At some time during his time in Zarephath, the widow found herself facing another trial. God had wonderfully delivered her from one trial, but that did not exempt her from future trials.
