1Ki 17:12 And she said, \u201cAs the LORD your God lives, I do not have a loaf, but only a handful of flour in a barrel, and a little oil in a jug. And, look, I am gathering two sticks, so that I can go in and prepare it for myself and my son, so that we can eat it, and die\u201d.<\/p>\n
Little Johnny\u2019s dad came to him and said, “Johnny I am so sorry I can\u2019t get you the toys that Billy\u2019s dad buys him, and I am so sorry I can\u2019t get you the nice clothes that Tommy\u2019s dad buys him, and I am also sorry I can\u2019t take you hunting every weekend like James dad does for him but I have something for you .Without knowing what the something was, Little Johnny looked at his dad and said Dad, Something is better than Nothing!<\/p>\n
Unlike many of us ,the widow of Zarephath didn’t declare emptiness in his jar but just like the little Johnny,she said I have a handful of flour and a little oil .
\nWhatever little you have isn’t nothing but something better than nothing.
\nLittle energy,little time,little resources,little faith,little education,little food etc. All these littles aren’t nothing but something . If mixed and coupled with faith the sparks blasts into flame consuming impossibilities and fills jars of nothingness<\/p>\n
