TEXT: 2 Kings 4:1-7
INTRO: Do you ever feel trapped? Have you ever felt like you were at the end of your rope? What do you do when you reach that point? I don’t think anyone, but the Lord, has the answers to those questions. This passage tells us about a poor, widow woman who was at the end of her rope. She did not know what to do or where to turn. This passage also teaches us the great truth that God has a plan for our problem.
