Miracles
I like the miracle that the prophet Elisha did when a poor widow was in debt and her two sons were in danger of having to work off the debt as bondsmen. The woman only had a little oil that was of any value. Elisha told the woman to collect as many empty jars as she could find. Then, she poured the oil she had into the empty jars until all the jars were full. She was able to sell the oil and live off of the oil.
(Story #154)
This miracle reminds me that God will use whatever we have, even if it is a little, and multiply it to be not only enough but more than enough. I thought that it was too bad that the woman and her sons did not collect many more jars, as the oil stopped when there were no more jars to fill. However, it was more than enough.

Yes, I also think this is one of the most interested miracles in the Old Testament!

I didn't have a single miracle that I disliked at all! All of them were unique and showed God's power in its fullest!

God sent the plagues before it to the Egyptians to warn them to let go of the Israelites but they didn't.
It reminds me of God's patience and warnings to us for repentance to avoid final destruction.

Yes! you are right! One of God's name is Jehovah Elshaddai (which means God that is more than enough). I like the story of the widow and Elisha too. It is full of hope and promise.
