Blessed and Blessings
They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 2 Kings 4:5
As a tour guide, we can tell our stories and also
other people’s stories, and as we start to share about
Singapore, especially about the pioneers that keep pouring into
Singapore. We cannot but embrace the spirit of reflection,
remembrance and resilience, that what they sow as seeds have
become the beautiful fruit that we are enjoying in a beautiful
garden.
I found that we have a collective
encouraging past that give us insights into the future
of Singapore .
I have witnessed in my own life how God has filled me with more joy
and inspiration when I’ve poured out my gifts and talents to serve
others.
In 2 Kings, we read about a poor widow who went to the prophet
Elisha for help. Her late husband’s creditor wanted to seize her two
sons. All she had at home was a small jar of olive oil. The prophet
instructed her to collect empty jars from her neighbors and to keep
pouring oil into the containers. “They brought the jars to her and
she kept pouring” (4:5). She kept pouring until all the jars were
miraculously filled. She could pay her family’s debts with the extra
oil.
God is faithful and always provides. He’s blessed us with gifts and
talents and resources to be a blessing to others.
Let’s not hide or
dismiss our gifts but use them for His glory.
