There are some interesting parallels in the story of the widow's oil (2 Kings 4:1-7) with the stories of Sodom and the Exodus.
>The widow and her children are destitute and oppressed.
>They are shut up in the house overnight.
>They obtained wealth from their neighbors.
>God rescued them from oppression.

She came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”
2 Kings 4:7 (Read v1-7 for context.)
God's Providence won't always take the form of tangible resources, but he is faithful to the faithful children of His faithful servants.
And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
2 Kings 4:2
The widow had nothing but a single jar of oil, a metaphor of God's Spirit indwelling the clay vessels of our mortal selves. What more do you need if you have God's Spirit in your house? Trust him for the rest. #faith
God said, "Thou shall not kill", but he told Joshua to kill every living person in Canaan. What's up with that?

I recently read an explanation by a well known Biblical site to refresh why I once thought Jesus was my Sabbath rest. The two biggest points are covered in the comic. There were a few other verses used that were taken out of context to support this stance. What I go back to every time that I hear "Jesus is my Sabbath now" is: so you don't get tired? You don't get wore out from your job that you need more time off? You don't long for a break from your day to day life to just relax?
If you say "no", I will assume you are a liar. I have yet to meet anyone that hasn't talked about looking forward to just sitting around the house for their vacation time, or looking forward to the weekend because they are cancelling all their plans at some point. These are Christian people who claim Jesus is their rest. If He is their rest, why are they longing for other rest?
Because Jesus didn't change anyone physically. The whole point of the Sabbath, from Creation, is to take a break from everything once a week. God did it. What makes us think we are smarter or more capable than God that we don't have to take a break once a week? He created our bodies. He knows their limits and how to help us function better. Part of that knowledge He passed down to us is rest times. Once a week. Stop what you are working on. Don't go cut the lawn. Don't turn a non-job-related work day into a work-for-yourself day. Rest. Visit friends and family. Visit the elderly, the poor, the fatherless, or the widows. Have a Bible study. But don't work. Let your body, mind and soul rest.
Hebrews 4:9-10 (WEB) There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
God didn't "rest in Jesus", He stopped working.
