Faith in Action

Elisha’s instructions were specific: “Borrow many jars. Go inside. Shut the door. Pour.” The widow’s faith wasn’t just inward; it was expressed in action: gathering, shutting out doubt, and pouring out what she had.

Faith isn’t passive. It shows up in obedience, even when the task seems strange or the resources seem insufficient. The widow didn’t see the oil multiply until she started pouring.

Often, we want proof before we obey. But miracles follow steps of faith, not the other way around. When the church acts inviting, giving, serving, praying: God fills what we bring.

Reflection Question:
Where might God be calling you (or your church) to step out in faith before you see the result?
