ABOUNDING IN GOD'S GOODNESS THROUGH BEING GENEROUS WITH THE LITTLE YOU HAVE 2kings4:8-17

This passage from 2 Kings describes the generosity of a Shunammite woman towards the prophet Elisha. She recognizes him as a holy man and, with her husband, provides a dedicated room for him whenever he visits. In return for her kindness, Elisha, through his servant Gehazi, inquires what he can do for her. Initially, she states she needs nothing, content with her life. However, Gehazi reveals she has no son and her husband is old, implying a lack of an heir. Elisha then miraculously prophesies that she will have a son within the year, which comes to pass. This narrative highlights: Hospitality and Generosity:   The Shunammite woman's selfless provision for Elisha. Divine Recognition and Reward:   Elisha's desire to bless her in return for her kindness. Miraculous Intervention :  God's power working through Elisha to grant a son to a previously barren and elderly couple.

Matthew 9:37-38   "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few."Brothers and sisters, we find Jesus looking out at the crowds, not with judgment, but with profound compassion. He sees them as " harassed and helpless , like sheep without a shepherd ." And then, He turns to His disciples and utters these profound words: “ The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field .
