2 Kings 4: 2-7 (ESV)
“And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me;
what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the
house except a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all
your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door
behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is
full, set it aside.” So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and
her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels
were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her,
“There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man
of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your
sons can live on the rest.”
In verses 2 through 7 from 2 Kings 4, we read about another
supernatural miracle from Father-God on provision. A widow owed debt to creditors
who were going to take her child as slaves, so she went to Elisha for help.
When Elisha asked her what she had in her house, she told him she a small jar
of anointing oil. Elisha told her to borrow all the vessels she could get hands
from her neighbors. The widow was able to fill all the borrowed jars with oil
from the one jar she had. She was able to pay off her debts and still had
enough money left over to live on for herself and her sons.
I love this miracle of supernatural provision from Father-God.
The widow had enough faith to do exactly as Elisha asked, and provision was her
reward. We may get advice that doesn’t make sense from the Holy Spirit when we
are praying for a miracle, but we must have enough faith to do exactly as requested
and only then will we see a supernatural miracle from Father-God. We also need
to have faith that the Lord in the Bible never changes, and he is the same then
as he is now. Father-God was provider to his people then, and he is provider to
his people today.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts about these Bible verses,
find yourself a Holy-Spirit filled, full Gospel, Bible-base church where you
can hear the word of the Lord preached and strengthen your faith that Father-God
is the provider of supernatural miracles.
