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.(NKJV)
Blessings from God come in all different ways, financial, physical,
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. I believe that there are many
times that full blessings are not given all because we do not follow
through with fervency and obedience. If this women 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.
