Do you think God is a 3 gallon bucket working on a 7 gallon job? 2 Kings 6-10

Here is a good lesson and principle to live by: You might doubt that God "will" do something for you but you should NEVER doubt that God "can" do something for you.   When a king sent an entire army to come to fetch Elisha, to subsequently kill him, Elisha's servant came to warn him.   The servant, looking through the eyes of the flesh, saw the army surround their little town and came to warn Elisha.  In response to his servant Elisha states the following, now famous words,:

2 Kings 6:16 - So he answered, “ Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

After saying this the eyes of the servant were opened to see thousands of angels on horses and chariots, surrounding the army that had surrounded Elisha.  The servant only saw through the flesh while Elisha lived in the spirit.

In the following verse the King of Israel saw the devastation of his kingdom and saw two women fighting about cooking and eating their babies because the enemies siege and the lack of food and water.  He was devastated and wanted to kill Elisha.   The king was a man of flesh and could only see with the eyes of the flesh.   Elisha tells one of the kings servant that within 24-hours the siege will be over and the food supply will be so abundant there will be a waste of food.  The kings servant can figure that out and says the following:

2 Kings 7:2 - The royal officer on whose hand the king was leaning answered the man of God and said, “Behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” Then he said, “Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it.”

We might doubt that God will do some of the things we would like but we should never doubt that God can do the things we need.  God's capability and power should never be in question.  Yes, there are times God chooses not to move, or chooses His timing different than we would like.   But, doubt in our hearts about His ability is a sin and wrong for believers.   Take things to God in prayer in belief that He can do what you ask.
