In the time of Elisha the prophet, a widow in desperate need approached him, having been left with debts and facing the threat of losing her sons to creditors. With only a small jar of oil remaining, Elisha instructed her to borrow as many empty vessels as she could from her neighbors, then pour the oil into them. Miraculously, the oil continued to flow and fill each vessel until there were no more left. Elisha then told her to sell the oil, pay off her debts, and use the remainder to support herself and her sons. This story teaches us that faith and obedience to God’s guidance can lead to miraculous provision, demonstrating that God can use even the smallest resources to meet our needs abundantly. It also shows that God cares about our practical concerns and is able to provide in ways that surpass our expectations.
