When I read this question, "What hast thou in the house?" it comes home to my own soul, "What do I have in the house?"
What do we allow in our houses? Do we have just what this woman had and nothing more, the presence and testimony of the Holy Spirit?
The Lord told His people of old that when He walked through their camp He did not want to see anything that deified. If there was anything dead seen, the people were to bury it.
Are there hindrances to our spiritual growth in our houses? The woman had a pot of oil, and that was all. Is Christ, ministered to us by the Spirit, enough, or do we have the attractions of this world to entangle our souls until we lose our spiritual sight?
