Use this word search after you teach Elijah and the Ravens (1 Kings 17).

The story: Elijah told Ahab there would "not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word," and the LORD sent him to hide by the brook Cherith, where "the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening." When the brook dried up, the LORD sent him to a widow in Zarephath who had only "an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse," yet "the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail," and she, Elijah and her house did eat many days.
