Empty Vessels Made Full

Her husband died and creditors will be taking the widow's two sons as slaves to work off debts she can't pay. With empty purse and desperate, she turns to the man of God, Elisha. (2 Kings 4:1-7).

"What do you need and what do you have?" he asked.

She only had a pot of oil. He told her to borrow vessels from neighbors and fill them from the oil pot. She obeyed.

Can you imagine the excitement as she and her sons fill vessel after vessel. What a miracle! She sold the oil, paid her debts, and lived in comfort.

Sometimes God has to empty us so He can fill us with blessings and use us for His purpose.

Ephesians 3:20,21 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Use your faith. Let God amaze you in desperate times.
