This Is His Endless Supply!
"The bin of flour shall not be used up,
nor shall the jar of oil run dry."
1 Kings 17:14
When a widow in Zarephath shared her last morsels
with the prophet Elijah, he gave her this
promise from
the Lord. There would always be flour in
her bin and oil
in her jar until the rain came, an
endless provision of
resources during the drought.
The Bible often compares bread to the Word of God and
oil to the Holy Spirit. These are our resources of daily life,
and they will never be depleted. You can have all of the
Spirit’s power you need and all the Word of God you can
devour.
These resources bring contentment and peace in life.
The jar will never run dry, and the bin will never be used
up. Friends may fail us; money may run low; health
may
give way; circumstances change. But we have a
perpetual
supply of grace—as infinite as God’s own character as we
walk in the Spirit and feed on the Word. God’s resources
are as never-ending as the life He gives us through
Christ our Lord.
"Though I have not outward comforts and worldly
conveniences to supply my necessities, yet I have
a sufficient portion between Christ and my soul
abundantly to satisfy me in every condition."
Jeremiah Burroughs
