Daily D – 2 Kings 4:2

by David Bowman | Apr 11, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

2 Kings 4:2 Elisha asked her, “What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” (CSB)

“What do you have in your house?”

God can do more with our meager resources than we could do with Taylor Swift’s billions.

A jar of oil became a gusher. Its multiplication saved a widow from losing her sons as payment for debt.

Moses had a staff that God turned into a snake and used to bring water from a rock.

David had a sling and five smooth stones with which he took out a giant.

A little boy’s lunch fed five thousand men and the women and children with them.

What do you have?

If you know Jesus as your savior, you have everything you need. When David the Shepherd Boy became David the King, he wrote some of the most treasured words ever:

The LORD is my shepherd;
I have what I need.“
(‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬ ‭CSB‬‬)

We do not need more oil, gold, tasty snacks, or better weapons.

We need more Jesus.

More Jesus, please.

—

I will trust Jesus to provide what I need when I need it.

—

Our Father, you provide all I need. I trust you to maximize whatever you place in my hands. Amen.

Daily D – Deuteronomy 26:16-19

Deuteronomy 26:16-19 “The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul. You have declared this day that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in obedience to him, that you will keep his decrees, commands and laws—that you will listen to him. And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands. He has declared that he will set you in praise, fame and honor high above all the nations he has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as he promised.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Deuteronomy 23:4, 5 “For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim to pronounce a curse on you. However, the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the Lord your God loves you.”

Daily D – Deuteronomy 17:16-20

Deuteronomy 17:16-20 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses for himself or make the people return to Egypt to get more of them, for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.” He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold.

When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. It is to be with him, and **he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.** Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.
