A woman who lost her husband, overwhelmed with financial burden, came to Elisha requesting help. Creditors were knocking on her door, threatening to take away her sons as slaves. She was desperate for answers. Crying out for help. Unable to pay. Elisha compassionately listened to her plea and asked her how he could help. But, before letting her answer he followed up his question with another. โ€œTell me, what do you have?โ€ He asked. โ€œIn the house?โ€ ๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ตโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ?

It is tempting to gaze simply on our needs and circumstances, highlighting the deficiencies and shortcomings. The reality of everything working against us while easily dismissing the blessings that remain. But, Elisha in this next moment did something profound, something that can possibly change the way we look at our circumstances, ๐˜ช๐˜ง ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ต. I don't want you to miss this. โ€‰The story continues with her response. โ€œNothing at all, except a jar of olive oil.โ€ You see, the man of God redirected the woman to what she already had, not what she lacked. To her it was โ€œnothing at allโ€ , to her it was โ€œnothing at allโ€ but, to him it was the answer and this answer is all that she needed.โ€‰

Sometimes the urgency to figure out what we need to do in circumstances bypasses what God has already given us. Running around impatiently to see a move from God, rather than realizing that God is patiently waiting for us to move alongside ๐‡๐ˆ๐Œ. He is waiting for us to move while utilizing the tools and gifts that are stored right inside of us. Right inside of you. โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ•โ• ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฃ๐š๐ซ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ฅ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐ž? ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž ๐›๐ž๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ข๐ญโ€™๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ž?
