The widow mentioned in today's scripture was in a difficult situation. She informed Elisha. Elisha risked involvement by inquiring in an attempt at identifying the woman's need.
We meet needy people everyday, and many times we find it easier not to get involved at all.
Try these actions: Instead of purchasing that fashionable diamond ring, dwell on the Solid Rock and reach out to someone in His name. Instead of paying for that new sport-utility vehicle, find a widow in church who may need her car repaired.
We may think we have no gift or talent in particular, yet only a kind heart is needed to respond to others in need.
Lord, use me as Your instrument to kindle flames of love and encouragement wherever I find a need.
