II Kings 4: 1-7
Elisha multiplies the widow's oil:
"Borrow as many large empty containers as you can from all your neighbors. Then close the door (for privacy) and pour oil into all those containers. When each one is full, set it aside."
..."There are no more containers." So the oil stopped flowing.
God supplied all the oil she needed to sell and support herself and her sons. When the last jar was full, the oil stopped being multiplied. God's provision was as bountiful as her faith and obedience.
He told her, "Sell the oil and pay your debt. The rest is for you and your children"
So I hope my own faith and obedience is as great as hers, that my preparation and efforts did allow me enough to pay all my debts, with enough left to accomplish what I need to do.
Father, show me the path to take, teach me how to do what is needful, and lead me into what will promote Your Kingdom and bring glory to Your Name.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
