How much do we expect from the Lord?

Last Sunday, one of our church shared this word:

2 Kings 4:1-7 tells the miracle of the widow and the clay jars. God miraculously filled as many jars as the woman could get hold of with oil to enable her to pay her debts.

I believe God longs to pour out the oil of his blessing, his healing, his abundant life on all of us.

We are those empty clay jars. God only filled the ones the widow was given.

If we choose to hold back, whether through fear or unbelief or lack of self worth, God can't fill us.

He wants to fill our clay jars with the gift of His Holy Spirit, corporately and individually.

We simply have to come and offer Him our emptiness. He loves us and longs to bless us.
