We Are The People

2 Kings 4:3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few.

Elisha instructed the woman to collect empty vessels. When I was a child, empty soda bottles brought a penny. The widow might have thought that the empty vessels were worthless but once again obedience would be the key to provision. Pray that people will be open to God’s provision for their needs through ways that seem foolish at times. Many stories from the Revolutionary and Civil War reveal the miraculous hand of God in our country.
