Your hope bowl is currently empty.
Your faith is hanging loose.
There are more reasons to be grumpy and sing the self pity songs.
The two hours traffic somehow turned you into a beast.
There are days when I question God, how can I serve you Lord in this kind of situation? How can I still work with integrity and actually not lingering around. How can I finish my race strongly? On my way to the Big Bear Heart meeting just now, I was like how can You use someone as weak as ordinary as I am especially when this very low battery body to server the kids this upcoming week? Is that even possible for us to give drinks when your cup is empty?
2 Kings 4:2-3
Elisha replied to her, "How can I help you?" Tell me, what do you have in your house?"Your servant has nothing there at all," she said, "except a small jar of olive oil."
This verse spoke to me around a month ago and it still warms my hear up until today. See how the widow humbly responded to Elisha. Honey, she is a widow which by norm she belongs to a lower class group at that era. She legitly has nothing like how she responded. But little that you know, she had a small jar of olive oil.
In this season where I have no other jars in my life I realised there is nothing else I can hold on to except this small jar of olive oil which is His words. Nothing else. Just like the widow, I question too how can I serve with my nothingness? It is actually the perfect timing for me to rely on His strength. The source of my living olive oil, only through You my small jar overflows.
