"EVERYTHING
WILL BE ALL RIGHT"
2
Kings 4:26
Each
time Elisha and his servant Gehazi traveled through the town of
Shunem
he had a place to stay, rest, and study because of one couple who
extended their home and hospitality.
He was so appreciative of their kindness that one day
he said to her “what
can we do for you?”
Although she was satisfied, His servant knew she was barren and
was past the hopes of having a child because her husband was old.
"About this time next year, " Elisha said, "you
will hold a son in your arms." A year later the son
arrived.
As
the father worked in the field the son became ill and died. The
woman ran to meet the man of God to inform him. When Elisha asked
what was wrong, she simply replied "Everything will be all
right." Elisha went to the boy and raised him from the
dead.
She
responded by Faith, which looks at situations through the eyes of
God, not the eyes of our limited understanding. This woman did not
panic for she knew there was something more: something more real
than the current circumstance. Faith does not panic, but realizes
that what looks like devastating circumstances may only be God's
plan to bring glory to Himself by demonstrating His power. When
Jesus appeared on the water to the disciples in the middle of the
night, out of fear they yelled "its a ghost!"
First appearances can bring great fear upon us even to the point
of paralyzing us. Find the Lord in your circumstance today.
Exercise your faith and trust Him for His outcome to the
situation.
