Get Out Of The House

1 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha. She said, "My husband is dead. You know how much respect he had for the Lord. But he owed money to someone. And now that person is coming to take my two boys away. They will become his slaves." 2 Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you? Tell me. What do you have in your house?" "I don't have anything there at all," she said. "All I have is a little olive oil." 3 Elisha said, "Go around to all of your neighbors. Ask them for empty jars. Get as many as you can. 4 Then go inside your house. Shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all of the jars. As each jar is filled, put it over to one side." (2 Kings 4:1-4)

There are times when God wants to take us to the next level in our spiritual development, but we hesitate because of fear and uncertainty. At these moments, we are between two worlds - one in which we understand, and the other that is beyond our comprehension. Instead of stepping out in faith, we tend to linger where we feel comfortable, we tend to stay at home, where things are more secure. However, in doing so, we could be missing an exciting opportunity that God has planned for us.

If we have any aspiration of seeing God move in a miraculous way in our lives, we must be prepared to “Get Out Of The House”. God's power is always there for the taking, we just have to make ourselves available and get out of our “own” comfort zone!

The widow in II Kings 4 saw God's bounty unleashed when she obeyed the prophet Elisha who asked her to gather as many jars as she could find, and fill them with the small amount of oil she had on hand. God's miraculous power multiplied her resources and the oil supply ran out only when no more jars could be found to fill. Likewise, God's power will flow through our lives continually as we make ourselves available to Him.

“Trust In Him”

Today ask God to use you, and get excited about what He has planned!

Have A Great God Day!
