TOO OFTEN WE LET DISAPPOINTMENTS, DELAYS, AND THINGS THAT HAVEN’T WORKED OUT LOWER OUR EXPECTATIONS.

Today’s Scripture
Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few.”
2 Kings 4:3, NIV

UNLIMITED SUPPLY
In 2 Kings 4, the creditors were coming to take a poor widow’s two sons as the payment for her bills. All she had of value was a small jar of oil. The prophet Elisha told her to ask her neighbors for empty jars. He specifically said, “Don’t ask for just a few.” When she poured her oil in them, it kept flowing until all the jars were full. She was able to sell the oil and had plenty of money to pay her debts.

The principle is that God is going to fill all the containers you bring Him. It’s not a supply problem; it’s a capacity problem. Too often we let disappointments, delays, and things that haven’t worked out lower our expectations. We’re not stretching, not believing for great things. Are you putting limits on what God wants to do in your life? Are you focused on what you think can happen only in your ability? God has an unlimited supply for all your needs. Don’t base your containers on what you can do; base them on what God can do.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are thAe Most High God who has given me gifts and talents and resources. Thank You that You can take what seems like it’s not enough for my needs, and You can make it flow into abundance. I believe that You are going to multiply what I have and show out in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Wake up every day expecting good. Keep your thoughts and mind positive, full of joy, full of hope, and full of anticipation of all the good things God has in store for you, His beloved!

Spring up from your bed, stand in front of your mirror and boldly declare, “I am the disciple whom Jesus loves. I am the apple of His eye. Everything I do and touch shall be blessed! The Lord’s wisdom, favor, and provision flow mightily in and through me. Amen!”

When you do this, you are accessing the Lord’s abundant provision for you, and all the stress, worries, negative emotions, and anxieties will fade away.

Perhaps today, you have to make an important presentation to your biggest client, or go for the final interview for a job you really want. Perhaps you are way behind the curve in completing an important project at work. Whatever the demands on you, start the day expecting good and to see His provision flow!
