In 2 Kings 4, we see how faith and action work together. The widow, facing insurmountable debt and the threat of losing her children, is desperate enough to ask and bold enough to act. The miracle of the multiplying oil shows us how God's provision is often proportionate to our readiness to receive it, and it challenges us to prepare 'jars' in our lives - tangible ways we anticipate God's move before we see it.
