Start Filling Empty Jars Today
In 2 Kings 4:1-7 Elisha instructs a widow that feels like she has NOTHING left, to gather some empty jars from her neighbors, bring them into her house, and start pouring what little oil she has into empty jars. And the jars were miraculously filled!
Why not try the same thing in your life today! Instead of focusing on what you don’t have, zoom out and focus on the emptiness all around you. Your “little” becomes much larger when seen through the lens of emptiness people all around you live in.
Then bring some empty jars into your house. Make a phone call. Send a card, email or text message. Make a visit. Invite someone for coffee, lunch, or dinner. Bring some empty jars into your house!
And start pouring what you have into the empty jars… an encouraging word, a prayer, a gift, a loving act of service, a helping hand! And watch God FILL your emptiness while He fills the emptiness of those you brought into your house!
