A look at 2 Kings 4:38 - 41...
During a prayer, the word "resourceful was mentioned leading to this beautiful insight:
2 Types of resourcefulness... A servant saw a famine, but wanted to serve these prophets something good. Unbeknownst to any of the prophets, he added to Elisha's instructions. Elisha DID TELL HIM to make the stew but he felt he needed to add to it/ tried to execute them his own way. HIS resourcefulness added death and could've killed everyone.
Thankfully, the prophets detected there was "death in the pot." Their response was to stop eating.
Elisha's response was different. He was resourceful in a way that eliminated the threat and allowed them to all eat! (We all gone eat!) The stew didn't have to be wasted. They couldn't eat it as is, but with the RIGHT resourcefulness, what they had already done in obedience (make the stew) could be salvaged. God fixes our mistakes. Good thing they followed His last instructions too and neutralized the threat.
ABOUT THE PICTURE:
This insight seemed to go well with this word that came from a prophetic ministry in the email on the same morning.
It reads: "Small Straws In A Soft Wind" by Marsha Burns
"Be still and stop worrying. I will give you the answers that will solve difficult problems if you will let go of your own construct. You have lots of good ideas, but there is only one sure-fire plan that will produce the desired outcome. Let Me show you the way, says the Lord, and follow my leading. Then, your journey will be successful. Luke 11:9 'So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.'"
