Episode: Daily Devotional - Sympathetic and Self-Sacrificial
Description: Today's Daily Devotional takes an analytical look at the story of the widow of Zarephath as narrated in the Bible. It examines the great virtue made evident in the widow's life by the way she lived and conducted herself. The widow's response to Prophet Elijah's need is particularly noted to be very instructive and demonstrative of the type of woman the widow was -- sympathetic, kind, generous, and self-sacrificing. The Devotional points to the widow's exemplary life with the admonition for all to emulate her virtuous lifestyle. January 27, 2026.
