2 Kings 4: 1–7: God will always provide for you when you entrust yourself to Him. The story of a widow in serious debt demonstrates this amazing truth that God can always be trusted.
1 Kings 19: 19–21: Elisha’s immediate response to God’s call is a great example to us of how to respond in a life-changing moment. The cost was high but God demands nothing less than wholehearted fol…
