I love the story of Elisha and the mother in 2 kings 4:1-7. This widow was in a terrible fix with debt and begged the prophet to help her. Elisha replied, “… tell me, what do you have in your house?” Her answer was, “…only a jar of oil.” But she soon learned this could be miraculously multiplied in the Hands of GOD!
I believe, all through my life, HE has been asking me this same question, “What do you have in your house… in your tool box… among your talents…?” Nudging me to pour out my seemingly little into any and every available vessel I can find, and watch HIM do the rest.” Yet just like the woman, who did not feel that what she had was enough, I’ve felt lacking too. GOD has shown us both, that a little offered to HIM will be used for great things.
From years of dancing, to raising children, now grand-mothering, painting and teaching sewing- fulfillment and joy has always come in the pouring out of my oil. Give and it will be given to you. Any open vessel anywhere; anyone I can find. My small stash of treasure offered in faith will expand, enlarge, and grow.
The things which I believed would bring me joy, are nothing in comparison to the glorious riches GOD had planned for me. HE swooped in and changed my life in a moment. And HE even asked me to participate in HIS Great Big Will. I feel incredibly blessed. ❤️ I only want to live every day thankful, grateful, glorifying as I pour out my oil. -Anna
