Manage episode 344056233 series 3210047
Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel and quitting? Have you ever come to the end of your rope? Are you there now, ready to give up? In 2 Kings chapter 4, we find a scene of misery, impoverishment, and despair. As the story progresses, however, this widow finds hope and a way out of a hopeless situation.
Whether you are facing the death of a loved one, debt, or even doubt, remember that God is able
· to provide (Phil. 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus”.,
· to deliver (Ps. 50:15 “and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”),
· to strengthen (2 Cor. 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.),
· to save (Heb. 7:25 “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”), and
· to do more than we could ever ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”).
