DAILY?READINGS: Joshua 5:13 to 6:27; Isaiah 2; Luke 22:1-30
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 anything in the house, save a pot of oil. 2 Kings 4:2
This inquiry was similar to Christ’s inquiry before He fed the multitude: “How many loaves have ye?” (Mark 6:38). Our Lord could do without what we have, but He does not choose to do so. Even if you have nothing but “a pot of oil,” He can meet your need by that means, provided you are ready and willing to do what He tells you. Use what you have! —W. Ross Rainey
O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
