The point is that no matter how hard we try we can never fulfill what God has planned for us. We need to come to him with empty jars (like Elisha told the widow to do) and empty nets (like the disciples had) and he will fill them more then enough. The widow has enough money to pay off her debt and live the rest of her life and the disciples' nets broke. That's the point.
Come to God with an empty cup, not one that is half-ful and overfilled, one that will spill.
