Except a Little Oil
"Elisha replied to her, 'How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?' 'Your servant has nothing there at all,' she said, 'except a small jar of olive oil.'"
— 2 Kings 4:2
A widow was about to lose her two sons to a creditor, which was legal at the time. Elisha did not begin with a miracle. He asked an inventory question: what is in the house? Her answer was nothing, and then she corrected herself. Except a little oil. The whole rescue started with that one correction.
