emotional, and relational. Many times we only see the faithfulness of God
after God see's our faithfulness unto Him. A simple widow asked for help,
Elisha gave simple instructions and God simply blessed her by giving her
just what she needed, all because she asked. *2Kings4:2 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.” 3
Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your
neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come
in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all
those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”5 So she went from him and shut
the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she
poured it out. 6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she
said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”And he said to her, “There is
not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.* I believe that there are many
times that full blessings are not given, all because we do not follow
through with fervency and obedience to what God has called His children to
do. If this woman would of only gotten a few pots, she would of only had a
little oil. Faithfulness to God is seen in following His instructions to
the fullest. Being obedient does not always come easy, but it is always
worth it in the end.
