2 Kings 4-5

Gods gifts are always in abundance.  We know this to be true.  But we also need reminded that he gives those gifts in ways that can be very surprising.  In 4:1-7 Elisha encounters the indebted widow of a Bible teacher.  The prophet directed her to take what she had; just a little bit of olive oil, and allow God to make it into a means for living.  In 4:42-44 a small gift of food was converted into a meal for dozens because Elisha was willing to surrender it to Gods plan.  God takes what little we may have and turns it into something wonderful once we grant him the freedom to do the work.
