King David said in Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ...read more

Bring Me Another Vessel

Contributed by Samuel M on Sep 24, 2024

God's oil was overflowing, but her expectations or limitations stopped the flow of oil. She did not prepare for a great miracle by gathering many vessels. She prepared by gathering vessels based on her expectation (or limitation) just expecting a (small) miracle.
