2 Kings 4:2
"And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil."
It'd incredible to think that this widow had nothing in her house but a pot of oil. That is about as poor as you can get. Yet she still had what she needed in order to receive God's provision - one pot of oil and a relationship with her neighbors.
Sometimes in our own lives we may feel desolately poor, completely helpless. Things are spinning out of control and there's nothing we can do. But perhaps like the widow, we are merely overlooking a gift God has placed in our lives. If I feel I only have one talent or ability left on the "house" that is my life, maybe God's provision is only waiting on me to use what He has already given.
That talent or ability may seem useless, small or insignificant, but it is a gift from God. And it is exactly what you need.
What gifts from God might I be overlooking in my own life?
