2 Kings 4:2  So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you?  Tell me, what do you have in the house?"  And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."

The woman's husband has just died.  Her two sons are about to be sold as slaves to pay debts.  She ran to God not from God when she has this problem. She doesn't go to the bank or government, but to the man of God.  She looks for a God answer for her impossible problem. The best start for a miracle is not to presume you have the answer but ask the question, 'what shall I do?'  As you ask, the answer will come.  It's an unselfish question, 'for you.'  Not what can I do, but what will I do.  Committed to bring an answer.  Step by step the miracle unfolds.  Her answer is in what she has in the house.  It doesn't matter what it is, whatever it is, God is going to use it.  She thinks that what she has is not much.  Most of us do.  But God can use your little & provide answers to impossible situations.  He tells her to POUR it out.  Don't hold back.  Give it all you've got.  Don't dribble, POUR!  As long as there were empty vessels in the House, the oil kept pouring!!!

See you in church!

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

We either lean on God or we lean on ourselves.  It's a choice who we will trust.  When we rely on our own understanding, we make decisions with no reference or prayer or asking God. This will result in disaster at worst & at best take us in a direction that is not the plan of God.  In every way we take, we need to place it before the Lord, commit it to Him, look to Him & let Him guide, however He will, as we take steps forward.

When we look to Him FIRST rather than bring our plans to Him to bless, then God has an open book to write in & we then agree to do His will.  This is the greatest key to blessing - Trust & obey.  The power of intuition, knowing, comes into play when we 'let go,' our plans & our methods & simply trust God to guide us.

See you in church!
