ASK FOR MORE?

2 Kings 4:5-6
5 She left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another one." But he replied, "There is not a jar left." Then the oil stopped flowing. NIV** I don’t know how many jars were filled up but I wonder if they would have kept bringing jars the ALL the jars would have been filled? I mean, lets just say that she filled a total of 30 jars. If she knew that all the jars would have been filled above and beyond 30, would she have searched high and low and went beyond just her friends to get more? How often we ask God for just the amount we need. What if we asked beyond ourselves? Suppose I need 4,000.00 a month to meet all my families needs and then some. Suppose I stopped asking for God to provide for us 4000 dollars a month and started asking for 5000 dollars a month so I could start giving 1000 dollars away to others in need? My needs PLUS others? Interesting concept huh?
