Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors--empty vessels; do not gather just a few. "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." 2 Kings 4:3-4
God's miracle through Elisha met a family's urgent need when they had no hope. The miracle itself involved the community, as the woman was instructed to borrow jars from her neighbors. This created an opportunity for everyone in her circle to be part of the power of God and to witness His care for the poor. When she had next to nothing, God turned her life around in a moment.
Today, whether you have a financial need or a spiritual need, this story may offer a way forward. You don't have to suffer your lack of resources on your own. Make your needs known to God and to the community around you. Give God a chance to provide what you need, and then invite others to become a part of God's work.
God is deeply concerned about you and your needs, and those who are turned in to God's heart will be able to help meet your needs as well. Or perhaps God wants to use you to help meet others' needs.
Prayer: God, help me to join You in blessing others today.
