A Poor Widow

 •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 8
A POOR but Christian widow, supported herself and her family by selling groceries and other articles. She was at one time much distressed for a sum of money to pay an account. The day and hour arrived when the claim would be made which she was unable to meet. She told her Heavenly Father all about it, and just then she heard footsteps in her little store. She expected to meet the one to whom she owed the money, but to her great surprise several sailors made their appearance, who purchased articles to the amount she re-quired, and thus converted her prayer to praise, encouraging her more than ever to exercise confidence in Him who has said, “Let thy widows trust in Me.” Jer. 49:1111Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. (Jeremiah 49:11).
“The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.” Nahum 1:77The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. (Nahum 1:7).
