Today in 2 Kings 4-8, we read various accounts of Elisha, the prophet. These passages seem to jump around quite a bit. Ch 4 has a story about a widow and her 2 sons. Seems the widow is destitute, with only a flask of olive oil left. Rather than providing her with the necessary funds, Elisha directs her to go and borrow as many jars as possible. Jars? Yes that's right, jars. Next, she was to shut the door and pour the oil from the flask into the jars....miraculously, the oil flowed until all the jars were full. Did she go to the end of her faith? If she had more jars, she would have more oil. Her blessings flowed as far as she made her faith in God a priority.
How many jars do you have for God today? Life and it's busyness can cause us to collect few jars.
