Our Gracious God

God never stops fulfilling His promises as long as we keep pleading them by faith to cover our needs.

2 Kings 4:1-7 explains this beautifully. Elisha told the woman to ask for empty jars from her neighbors. “Not just a few” he specifically stated, giving the lower limit but no boundaries on the upper limit. And told her to shut the door to keep out non-helpful wagging tongues that could speak against miracles and cut if off. The oil stopped flowing when all the jars were full. Just like the feeding of the five thousand – when all were full, then the miracle ends.

The woman only asked for the debt to be paid, but God gave her enough to let them live off the money till the boys grew up. That is a wonderful picture of our generous God!

On any divine promise we can hang time and eternity, and rely on God to fulfill to the limit any of those promises we claim.

When God gives, it is always more than enough.
