How do we know that faith leads to God's blessings?

In 1 Kings 17, the widow's decision to obey when Elijah asked for food demonstrates the principle that faith leads to blessings. Elijah assured her that her supplies would not run dry if she acted in faith, asking her to put him first. This required a significant step of trust, as she had very little left. By prioritizing God's servant, she exemplified faith, and indeed, her barrel and cruise never ran out until the drought ended. This story encourages believers to trust God’s promises, assuring that those who place Him first in their lives will receive abundant blessings.
