2 Kings 8:5 And Gehazi was telling the king about the time Elisha had brought a boy back to life. At that very moment, the mother of the boy walked in to make her appeal to the king about her house and land. “Look my lord the king!” Gehazi exclaimed. “Here is the woman now, and this is her son - the very one Elisha brought back to life!”
Talk about right time and right place, this lady was the perfect example of it! Elisha had told her to go and live somewhere else for seven years while there was famine in Israel, and she did exactly as he said because she knew what he said, would happen. Then after seven years, on the day she came back to ask for her house and land to be given back to her, she arrived at exactly the right time and all was restored to her! How brilliant was that!
It encourages me so much to know that if we’ll listen to what God is saying, and if we’ll do exactly as He says, when He says to do it, He’ll make sure we’re at the right place at the right time too. We don’t need to fret and worry about whether everything will work out all right. God will make sure it does if we follow His instructions.
This lady had to leave her home for seven years which must have been quite a step of faith at the time, but everything was restored to her. She didn’t lose out at all and even had the profits from her harvests given to her as well. Plus she spent seven years eating plenty in the Philistines’ land instead of starving at home!
She could have disobeyed God and thought she knew better because it made no sense in the natural. She could have worried about losing her home and everything familiar to her, worried about going somewhere new with no friends and just stayed where she was, but she proved obeying God is always best!😊
So we too can be encouraged to know God always knows best because He can see the end from the beginning. Even if it doesn’t make sense to us, if we’ll trust His leading, do as He says and go where He says go, He will make sure all will be well for us too.😊
Have a blessed weekend.x
