We know the Biblical story of the jar of oil that didn’t run out during a long drought, but sometimes, the miracle is hard to imagine. How could it never run dry?
Jamie Boleyn of Emmett, Idaho, understands.
As a child, her parents divorced, and her mother now had all the bills that went along with the family and no job to pay them. Soon after the divorce, boxes of food began appearing on their porch.
They never learned who left them there, but they continued appearing for months, until Boleyn’s mother secured a job.
Angels? A neighbor? They never found out, but they knew one thing: those boxes of groceries truly saved their lives during those desperate months.
Jeremiah 29:11 assures us:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
We have a redeeming savior. He came to wash away our sins and provide us with new hope.
Boxes of groceries? Sure, he can do that. Extend the gas in the old car’s tank? Certainly. Repair broken relationships, offer us encouragement, open up opportunities for a job? All that and more.
“Thoughts of peace … a future and a hope.”
Let’s lift our hands and praise God, for he is indeed our salvation and our hope that never runs dry.
