945. Elisha and the Widow's Oil - January 16, 2026

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 16. I will then key in on verse 3 - Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. Friends, we should not do things for our employer, or for our spouses, or even for us - but as unto the Lord. Things will usually go better for us if we approach everything we do with that in mind. On today's podcast I will go over a short passage of scripture having to do with a widow who has just lost her husband. She had learned that her husband was in debt and she didn't have the means to pay off that debt. This meant that the creditor would be coming to take her two sons from her to pay off that debt. By the end of today's lesson there are three things I would like for you to consider:

1. What do you have in your house that God can use?

2. God can take your "oil" and use in to His glory.

3. Reading the word (the Bible) on a regular basis can bring your faith to a new level.

Scriptures referenced on today's podcast:

Proverb 16:3; 2 Kings 4:1-7; Leviticus 25:39-46; 1 Samuel 22:2; Matthew 18:25
