My Morning with God- 2 Kings 4:1-7 KJV

🌿 Devotional: The Lord Will Make a Way

Scripture: 2 Kings 4:1–7 (KJV)

Theme: When I’m down to nothing, God is up to something.

🔹 Introduction

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when the cupboards are empty, the accounts are low, and the only thing left is faith. The widow in 2 Kings 4 knew this feeling all too well. Her husband was gone, her creditors were coming, and all she had left was a jar of oil — a small resource in the face of a great need. But when she brought her lack to God, He turned it into overflow.

🔹 God Is Never Out of Resources

The widow’s miracle reminds us that we serve a God who has all and holds all. Heaven’s economy never crashes. When our natural resources run out, His supernatural provision steps in.

“We serve a God that owns heaven’s and earth’s resources.”

Sometimes His provision takes time, and sometimes it happens suddenly — but either way, He always provides. You are never too far from God that His supply can’t reach you.

🔹 Obedience Opens the Flow

The key to her miracle wasn’t the oil; it was obedience. Elisha told her to borrow empty vessels — and she did. She didn’t wait for understanding; she moved on faith.

“Her obedience was immediate, and so was her blessing.”

When we respond with an immediate yes instead of a delayed one, we invite God’s supernatural hand to move. Each empty jar represented her willingness to believe that God could multiply what she had. What would happen if you obeyed without hesitation today?

🔹 Use What You Have

Elisha didn’t ask her for what she didn’t have. He asked, “What do you have in your house?” God always starts with what’s in your hand.

“You already have what you need. God can take a little and make it a lot.”

Your willingness is more valuable to God than your wealth. He’s not looking for glitz or glam — He’s looking for faith that will pour, even when the jar seems small.

🔹 Overflow Comes Through Faithfulness

The oil kept flowing until there were no more vessels left. The flow of your blessing is tied to your preparation and obedience.

“God will provide if you will prepare. Preparation is the soil that grows prosperity.

When life demands more than human supply, Jesus is always the answer. The same God who filled her jars can fill your life, your business, and your heart with more than enough — if you’re willing to pour.

🔹 Reflection & Prayer

Reflection:

• What “jar” has God placed in your life that you’ve overlooked?

• Where might He be asking you to obey before you understand?

• Have you limited your flow by stopping short of obedience?

Prayer:

Lord, I thank You that You are my Provider and Way-Maker. Help me to see the oil You’ve already placed in my life. Give me the courage to obey quickly and the faith to prepare for overflow. When my resources seem small, remind me that You are limitless. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right Spirit in me! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
