Is Your Pantry Empty?
One of the hardest things to do is trying to figure out what to cook for dinner or lunch. I can't tell you how many times I've stood in front of the pantry at a loss of what I can miraculously throw together from the crazy mix of canned goods in my pantry. It is much easier to cook when I've planned a menu and made sure that my pantry has all the ingredients needed to cook. Today, we had a missionary visit and speak about II Kings 4:1-7. A widow woman is at the end of her rope. She is so much in debt that the creditors are threatening to take her sons into slavery. People, that is way worse then repossessing a car! She asks the prophet, Elisha, for help. He asks her a simple question. "What's in your house?" She replied that all she has left is a jar of oil. He then tells her to go to her neighbors and borrow as many jars as she can from them. Then, shut herself into her home and begin pouring the oil from the one jar into all the empty jars until all are filled. Sell off the jars and pay off your creditors. She followed his directions, and God moved. Do you feel like your pantry is empty? There's nothing left for God to use? Maybe you feel broken, empty, or exhausted? God is able to take that little bit left and bring life to the empty! When we surrender what is left to God, He creates plenty from what seems like nothing. Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
Let God stand at the pantry of your heart and create a masterpiece from what you think is empty.
Let God stand at the pantry of your heart and create a masterpiece from what you think is empty.
Have a great week high-heeled warriors!
