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 – Psalm 119:1-8

Psalm 119:1-8

“Joyful are people of integrity,
who follow the instructions of the Lord.
Joyful are those who obey his laws
and search for him with all their hearts.
They do not compromise with evil,
and they walk only in his paths.
You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
reflect your decrees!
Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
As I learn your righteous regulations,
I will thank you by living as I should!
I will obey your decrees.
Please don’t give up on me!”

Daily D – 2 Kings 20:16-19

2 Kings 20:16-19 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Listen to this message from the Lord: The time is coming when everything in your palace—all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now—will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord. Some of your very own sons will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon’s king.”

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “This message you have given me from the Lord is good.” For the king was thinking, “At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime.”

Daily D – John 16:33

John 16:33 “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

Daily D – John 16:19-22

John 16:19-22 Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”

Daily D – John 15:12-13

John 15:12, 13 “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
