When God’s desire is your plan to use for daily living, misery suddenly shall slip away, and you will find satisfaction wherever you are! Here it is, “Those who love Your law have great peace; Nothing makes them stumble.” (Psalm 119:165, AB).

In 2 Kings 4, though things were so bad for the widow, she had an exception! Notice that she said she had nothing “except” a small jar of oil.
