God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. Eph. 3:20

Are we content at Summit? We have a nice building to worship in, a set routine for our services, and good Christian friends to support us. But is that enough? Are we satisfied with outreach to others; our concern for the souls around us; and our growth both personally and as a church?

In 2 Kings chapter 4, a widow comes up to the prophet Elisha and cries out to him, “My husband is dead and creditors are coming to take away my two sons to pay the debt.”  Elisha asked her how he could help and if she had anything in her house. The widow said she only had a little oil. Elisha told her to collect as many jars as she could from her neighbors. They went into her house with the empty jars and started filling them. When they ran out of jars the oil stopped flowing. Elisha told her to go and sell the oil to pay off her debt.

How many jars would you have filled? Maybe all she needed to pay off her dept was about 20 jars. The Bible doesn’t say how many she filled.

If someone came up to most of us and granted us three wishes we might wish for world peace. I would wish for the world to know our Lord and Savior. Many would wish for one hundred more wishes!!  not content with only three.

What would you have done in the place of the widow? Would you have pushed for 100 jars of oil or are we sometimes content on just getting by? I believe the number of jars she filled was an indication of her faith. God’s provision was as large as her faith and her willingness to obey his direction.

We need to be thankful for our blessings and trust the Lord to provide for us. But we should never be content in our service for Him. We must always be aware of needs around us, reaching out and in prayer for lost souls we encounter.

Brothers and sisters, we just had a great VBS.  Covid had us wondering if we were doing VBS this year, but we were not content to let the opportunity slip by. What a great outreach to children and their families in our community. A big thank you to all the workers!! The Body came together to put our best foot forward, from weed whacking the hill, touching up the landscaping, organizing and planning, decorating the classrooms and auditorium, teachers, cookie makers and helpers, youth workers and Chris leading songs. The Wednesday night celebration was well done and enjoyed by many. God continues to bless us at Summit!!  My prayer is that the parents of all the little children we cared for, will someday be a part of Summit. Jesus said,” Let the little children come to me.”  Matt 19:14

Are you working for the Lord? Are you content?
