Empty Jars & Ditch Diggers
February 22, 2015
2 Kings 4:1-7
1Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha saying, “Your servant my husband is dead—you know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.2“What should I do for you?” Elisha asked her. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She replied, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” 3Then he said, “Go borrow for yourself vessels from all your neighbors—empty jars—not just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and behind your sons, and pour into all those vessels, setting aside what is full.” 5So she left him and shut the door behind her and behind her sons. They kept bringing the vessels to her and she kept pouring. 6When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” But he said to her, “There isn’t another vessel.” So the oil stopped. 7Then she came and told the man of God. So he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt, then you and your sons can live on the rest.”

Luke 14:21 ‘Quickly go out into the squares and alleys of the city and bring here the poor, the maimed, the blind, and the lame.’…23“So the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the thoroughfares and fenced areas, and press them to come in so my home may be filled.
Luke 14:23 (NASB) …and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

2 Kings 3:15 Now as the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him. 16 and he said, “Thus says the Lord: Make this valley full of trenches. 17For thus says the Lord: You will not see wind nor will you see rain, yet this valley will be filled with water. So you will drink, both you and your cattle and your animals. 18Yet this is an easy thing in the Lord’s eyes—for He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
