On this episode of the King's Healing Room Podcast, Elder Karen dives into her new sermon. Heads or Tails; Half Full, Half Empty: Part 1 ; as she uses biblical principles to deliver the word of GOD

When life feels like a jar half-empty, 1 Kings 17:12–16 reminds us that God’s provision isn’t limited by what we can see. The widow, facing her final meal, offered what little she had—and discovered a miracle that carried her household through famine. God often calls us to trust Him beyond our logic, timelines, or resources, not to take from us but to reveal how faithfully He provides when we surrender what feels scarce. Highlights The widow’s “last meal” became the doorway to God’s ongoing provision. Fear, scarcity, and uncertainty can make obedience feel impossible. Trusting God doesn’t always make sense in the moment—but it positions us to see His power. God often works behind the scenes long before we see results. Obedience in the small things can lead to unexpected opportunities and blessings. Personal stories—like finding a job, purpose, or direction—often echo the widow’s journey of radical trust. God’s plans unfold step-by-step, not all at once, and His timing rarely looks like ours. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: When All We See Is a Jar Half-Empty By Hannah Benson Bible Reading: And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. - 1 Kings 17:12-16 One Saturday afternoon, as I spent quiet time with God, the Lord impressed on my heart the story of the widow and Elijah. I froze. Where did that come from? In all honesty, I hadn’t thought of that story in a long time. Needless to say, I flipped open my Bible and found the story smack-dab in the middle of 1 Kings 17. As I reread the story, the Lord reminded me of a time in my life when God had called me, like the widow in the story, to trust His plans more than the “reality” I could see. Let’s rewind, refresh our memory of the passage, and step into ancient Israel for a moment. Have you ever wondered how the widow in 1 Kings 17 felt as she peered into her jar and jug? Perhaps she sighed. Perhaps, despite how empty both were, they’d never felt so heavy in her hand. One more meal. One more meal and then she and her son would have nothing left. Perhaps she gazed up into the heavens or perhaps she fell on her knees in the dirt. Perhaps a tear slipped down her cheek and hit the soil, the splash of liquid the first the dry earth had seen in so long. Had God forgotten her? Suddenly, in the distance, there appeared a man, no doubt dusty and worn from his travels. He asked her for a drink. That alone would’ve been difficult to procure in a drought and famine. But she turned to fetch it. And then. He requested a morsel of bread. Her heart, no doubt, sank. Why would God ask her to surrender one of the very things she and her son needed to live? Perhaps a million thoughts ran through her mind. As it was, she and her boy would die eventually because they had nothing left. And now? Was God asking her to give everything? Didn’t He know what it would cost her? Despite her fears in the midst of God’s promise, the widow chose to offer what she had. Even though she couldn’t see how God would provide. Even though the reality staring her in the face contradicted what God had reassured her. And you know what? “And she and he and her household ate for many days” (v. 15). This realization wrapped around me like a warm blanket. I believe God will not always show us the next step. Sometimes, all we can see is what sits directly in front of us, but we don’t see the whole picture. When God asks us to do something radical, it doesn’t matter if it looks like we may lose something we hold close. It doesn’t matter if it looks like we will lack what we think we need (As the widow knew she would run out of food. That, after all, made sense). But God doesn’t operate in our timelines. He provides miracles often when we least expect them. Sometimes, God asks us to move in a direction that appears contrary to what we think makes sense. Intersecting Faith & Life A couple of years ago, God told me He wanted me to focus on where He had me. Let me explain. After nearly 6 months off work due to an initial layoff and then helping to care for my mom, who’d been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and when it was possible for me to look for a job again, God impressed on my heart to wait. Wait? That didn’t make any sense. As a young adult two years out of high school, I needed to have a job. To make some money to save. Right? But despite what made sense, God challenged me to focus on where He called me. I’ll be honest. At the time, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. A year-and-a-half before I graduated, I’d started working on a novel He’d placed on my heart years earlier. Now that I was a high school graduate and didn’t have homework, what was I supposed to do with all that “free” time during the day? Write novels? That seemed a bit unrealistic. Thankfully, that wasn’t what God had in mind. Not in the long run. After all, I wanted to be able to make some money to save. It would be even better if it were doing something I truly loved. One particular afternoon when the fear screamed louder, God’s voice was a gentle anchor to my heart. Trust. Trust. Trust. That evening? I’m not even kidding. A friend of mine emailed me to ask if I’d step in to work remotely as her marketing manager for her small business since her former manager was stepping down. A miracle and divinely orchestrated? Absolutely. Especially considering I had zero professional marketing experience and had desired to work in marketing for this exact company. And now? I work remotely for a digital marketing company halfway across the country whose client includes a film company. Which means I get to market films. I write fiction and nonfiction. I’m in a new film school that launched this past year. My family and I had the privilege of traveling to Nashville recently to work on a major proof-of-concept for a TV series. In addition, I’m now writing for Crosswalk and still marketing for my friend’s company when needed. All glory to God. The best part is? I never could’ve foreseen all of this when God asked me to trust His plan and to focus on where He had me. I still don’t know what God’s plan is for me tomorrow, next month, or next year. Yes, there are absolutely hard days, but life with God is an adventure, and I know He will lead each of us in accordance with His will and good plans and purposes. Where might God be asking you to trust Him? What are you afraid to say “yes” to because of what you lack? If God is calling you to do something, even if it’s radical, I want to encourage you to say “yes.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
