Bible Insights

This column features insights and ideas from contributor's individual Bible study to continue to shed new light on familiar (or not so familiar) Bible stories, history, and scholarship. We also hope it will inspire readers to dig deeper into their study of the Bible and Christian Science–and to offer their insights and discoveries for publication.

We limit ourselves

From the December 2011 issue of The Christian Science Journal


How much is God willing to give us? How much is enough? 

There are really only two aspects of those questions: need and greed. God always meets our need—utterly, finally, completely, and infinitely. The extent to which our needs are fulfilled is up to us.

A great example, to me, of God’s provision is the story of Elisha and the widow with two sons whom she was about to sell into slavery to pay her debts (see II Kings 4:1–7).
