Most companies provide benefit plans for their employees, and so does our heavenly Father, Who loads us every day with everything that pertains to life and godliness! We are so blessed, but many don't even racialize it! Talk about count your blessings, I bet if you tried, you couldn't do it!
You may think because your bank account is empty that you are destitute, but God is providing everything for you! This story is found in 2 Kings 4:1-7. A widow, whose husband had been a member of the company of prophets, approached Elisha in desperation because her deceased husband left debts she could not pay, and a creditor threatened to take her two sons as slaves. Elisha asked her what she had in her house, and she replied that she had only a small jar of oil.
Elisha instructed her to borrow as many empty containers as possible from her neighbors, then go inside with her sons, shut the door, and pour oil into all the jars, setting each aside when full. Miraculously, the oil continued to flow until all the borrowed jars were filled. When she informed Elisha, he told her to sell the oil, pay her debts, and live on the remainder.
Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5
