After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. She then said to Elijah, “What have you against me, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to cause the death of my son!” But he said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him from her bosom, carried him up into the upper chamber where he was lodging, and laid him on his own bed. He cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?” Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this child’s life come into him again.” The Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.” So the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.” (1 Kings 17:17-24, NRSV)
Elijah went to the widow as God told him to, and while he was staying with her and her son, her son died.
But Elijah knew God would not allow this. He prayed to God and asked Him to restore the life of this child.
And it wasn’t enough for the widow that the grain and oil in her jar that she was going to make her last meal didn’t run out, but now with the bringing back to life of her son she knows that Elijah is a man of God.
What will it take for us to believe God?

A miracle?
Would that make us believe?
