The widow of Zarephath was quick to tell Elijah that she didn’t have any bread. She quickly stated that she only had a handful of flour and a little oil and that she was getting ready to die.  But in reality, this widow had more than she needed for God to perform a miracle.   

I bet when God commanded her to feed Elijah, He didn't want her to be looking for the manifestation of the things that she already had.  The manifestation of what flour and oil could become.  No, God wanted her to use the ingredients that she held in her hands, in their rawest from, and allow Him to create what she needed from them.  

Girl, what are the things that God has already given to you that you are underestimating.  Things that you are putting a limit on because it hasn’t manifested itself into what it is supposed to be just yet.

What are the raw ingredients that you already have?

What are the things that come naturally to you that just may be underdeveloped or in flour and oil form?
