The main thing is to learn to think rightly about your heavenly Father. Yes, many Christians suffer and die. The righteous perish, as we saw at the beginning of our text, and sometimes they even starve to death. In this very church we have sick people, people grieving the loss of loved ones. It is tempting to adopt the mindset of Richard Dawkins and say that at the heart of the universe is nothing more than “pitiless indifference.” But our text tonight tells a different story. God cares! He is interested in you. He feels your needs and your pain. We know He does, because His Son is a man like you, one who knows intimately what it is to live on Earth and to lose the ones He loved. We saw tonight that God cares for the nameless and helpless. He showed that by providing for this widow’s needs. How much more did He show it at the cross of Jesus Christ, where He gave not a miraculous supply of oil (which cost Him nothing) but instead gave His only Son (which cost Him everything)! Brothers and sisters, we serve a God who cares, and cares deeply, about us and our needs. It may not always seem like it, and His priorities are certainly different from ours. But He is a God who cares.
