“Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou…of the rest.” The widow was concerned only for the moment, how she could keep the creditors from taking her sons to be bondmen to pay off her indebtedness. She, no doubt, never imagined there would be an addendum to her immediate need being provided. And neither do many of us.
I don’t think most in this life will ever fully grasp the promise, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” God has a marvelous and blessed way of replacing our periods with a comma, and continuing our sentences. When David lost everything at Ziglag he asks the Lord, “Shall I pursue…shall I overtake?” Two questions. God answers him, then adds, “…for thou shalt surely…without fail recover all.” Too good to be true, David? Yes! Nevertheless, true.
If, at times, He answers before we call; He can certainly add to our requests after we call. (R.D.S.)
