She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.” 2 Kings 4:6
Walking with God is living through different seasons. There are times when your cup is virtually empty and you have to struggle to make ends meet. And there are times when your cup is overflowing!
This story is about a woman facing a desperate situation. She has lost her husband who was a prophet of God, she has no money, and creditors are coming to take her two sons as slaves.
She cries out to Elisha and he asks her what of value do you have in your house? The woman responds she has nothing except a small jar of olive oil. Elisha tells her to go to her neighbors and ask for empty jars. And get many jars!
Then Elisha told the woman to take the jar of olive oil and pour some into each of the empty jars. The oil continued to pour out until every jar was filled. She was amazed at the goodness of God and how He abundantly filled her cup.
You and I need to reach out to God when facing a drought or a near empty cup. God is the only source who can fill your cup.
Ask God by faith with no lingering doubt! Then watch the power and majesty of God perform a miracle for you!
Thought for the day:
“I am a miracle worker. I will never leave you desolate or lacking. Come to Me by faith and nourish yourself on My faithfulness.”
