I love the story of the widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7. Her creditors were coming to take her two sons to be slaves. In verse 2 Elisha asked her what she had in her house. She replied, “…nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”

In verse 3 he instructed her to, “…Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few.” He was setting her up for abundance. In verse 4 he told her to pour her one jar of oil into all the empty vessels. 

When all the vessels were filled the oil ceased. In verse 7 Elisha told her, “…Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” We often despair when we only see our lack. John 10:10b takes our vision out of human impossibilities, onto God’s infinite ability. Pour His promises into your empty circumstances and watch Him fill them.
