God takes us seriously

God wants to work in partnership with us when performing miracles in our lives. In the story of the widow and Elisha, the widow only had a pot of oil, which may seem inadequate, but God can work through imperfect and inadequate resources. God wants us to make an effort and be diligent in finding solutions to our problems. In the story, the widow had to borrow many pots from her neighbors to receive the miracle of oil. This involved the community and had an evangelistic power to bless others. The miracle had a public and private part, and God was glorified through the community involvement. Read more...
