Widow And Her Pot Of Oil 2
September 24, 2024
God’s miracles are not for us alone. Others watch and are impacted. The widow and her pot of oil in II Kings 1: 1-7 is an example. She was debt laden by her deceased husband. Elisha’s way to help was curious. Borrow your neighbor’s pots and pour into them from your small pot. Multiple pots were filled, enough to pay their debts and provide for their future. Imagine her neighbors’ thoughts when asked for her pot. “She’s poor, will she return it?” “She is selling enough oil to save her sons! She returned my pot!
I imagine that neighbor daily using her pot thinking, “God is much bigger than I imagined. His heart is bigger than I could believe. Caring for a widow in poverty, who does that? Only God.
