There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as The Lord had promised through Elijah.

1 Kings 17:16 NLT Bible

Many of us have grown up in homes and witnessed our parents freely sharing whatever they had with anyone in need........a relative, an unexpected visitor or even a stranger. Yet, miraculously, there was always enough for those of us at home. We were never hungry or in need. This is what happened with this widow when she met Elijah.  She was obedient and used the little flour and oil that she had to make food for the prophet and God multiplied it and amazingly, there was always enough left in the containers to cook each day, just as He had promised.

This principle applies to us today. God wants to bless us and meet our needs, but we have to be faithful, obedient and sensitive to others in need. When we bless them with the little that we have, somehow God multiplies it, all our needs are met and there is always enough for us. We are blessed in ways we never imagined. We may try to rationalize our reasons for not helping someone in need, by saying that we don't have enough for ourselves, our finances are limited, and we just can't do it. This is when we have to walk by faith, trust God and be obedient. As we open our hands and share what we have with someone, God then blesses us in unexpected and miraculous ways.

Thank you, Lord for Your many blessings! May I always be willing to use whatever You have blessed me with to help someone in need. Help me to be obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Lord, I trust in Your faithfulness and know that You will always provide for me. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
