Corrie Ten and her sister Betsy are among those people who suffered severely in concentration camps because they helped many Jews to escape or hide from Nazi persecution. The hard labour they were forced to do during the day and the tiny, congested and uncomfortable rooms to spend the nights in, had made them very weary. 

The little bottle of vitamin drops they had in their possession, was soon running out. Their fellow prisoners were starving because they were not given sufficient food. Many of them developed very high fever. ‘What shall we do? When we do not have enough vitamin drops for ourselves, how will we share it with others?’ 

But in faith, they called in the other prisoners and shared the vitamin drops with them. It amazed them that, though drop by drop, there was enough for everyone in the cell. And this happened every day!  They praised the Lord! The Lord who sustained the widow of Zarephath centuries ago, with the promise that the jar of flour and the jug of oil will not run dry, still lives!

After many days, a security guard had compassion on the poor prisoners and gave them a box of bottles of vitamin drops. The sisters were excited, and they told themselves, ‘First let’s finish the vitamin drops in our own bottle, then we shall open the new bottles and give of it to everyone!’. However, that day they realised that the old bottle did not have even a drop of vitamin in it. The God of Elijah still lives … the Lord who provides … the Lord who cares, … the Lord who sustains …

For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain on the land.’ 1 Kings 17:14

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13: 8
