Pastor Jeremy shares Sunday in Glendive.
2 Kings 4:1 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of
the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant
my husband is dead, and you know that your servant
feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my
two sons to be his slaves.” 2 So Elisha said to her, “What
shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the
house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in
the house but a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go, borrow
vessels from everywhere, from all your
neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4
And when you have come in, you shall shut the door
behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those
vessels, and set aside the full ones.” 5 So she went from
him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who
brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. 6 Now
it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said
to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to
her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. 7
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said,
“Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your
sons live on the rest.”

blessed in what they did (James 1)
c. Joshua said doers of the word would be
prosperous and have good success (Josh 1)
2. She endured the monotony of collecting jar after
jar after jar with no end in sight and no clue if what
she was doing was even going to make a
difference.
a. Praying momma
b. Training momma
3. She becomes a business owner, in charge of
