Hang on................Its not over!!!
----------------------------------------
The widow of Zarephath was on her way to prepare her last meal for her and her son..They had a bit
of oil and flour hardlysuffiicient for both of them.There unexpectedly came an uninvited "guest".
He asked her to give Him something to eat..He gave her a promise "For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.'
She obeyed Him...We read later' So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.".
Another widow had a little oil in her house,she was threatened by the enemy to take her Children as slaves if she didnt pay her debt!!!
Now here we see God didnt consume the adversary but gave the Widow that little oil that was enough to pay back her debt and live the "rest of her life"
Jesus saw the five thousand plus gathered there and used the Little the young lad had.
Five loaves and two fish..He took it in His hands..and broke and multiplied that.
The famine was great but when the little was there, they did what was required of them,The widow in zarephath gave that to the man of God!!
The other widow ran to Elisha before the the little oil ran out
The little lad gave what He had to Jesus!!!who in His hands turned it to a blessing
Endnote:We all have needs that are great..The famine will cause our resources to run short,The threatenings of the enmy will cause us to forget the Little Oil we have which is so powerful..
HANG ON!!!Hang On!!!Its not over....as long as you have that "LITTLE" covered by the great promises!!
Yes A bruised reed he will not break,
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice
