“And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou
shalt embrace a son …” 2 Kg 4:16
Interesting story shared from Elisha’s ministry. Here’s a “great
women” (Pro 31) who used her blessings from God to be servant to God’s work.
She perceived Elisha as a man of God (vs 9) and thus used
her gifts to minister to Elisha.
By way of her hospitality to Elisha he offered her a voice
before the king and/or the general.
But she was humble and content in her circumstances (vs 13).
But, in her humility, she did tell Elisha she was childless,
and her husband was of old age.
Elisha was willing to seek God’s favor to remove that which
at present was her only grievance.
Such blessings that are suited to our specific necessities are
welcomed with greatest of thanks.
Question: How are you preparing yourself for your blessings?
This woman was still willing to be accountable with the
gifts God had blessed her with and serve the work of God while she tarried in
her prayers for a son... (Isa 40:31 “But
they that wait (Hebrew word serve) upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”
Point being: don’t miss a blessing from the Lord because you
skipped a spiritual work day.
One never knows where God’s next blessing will come from or
through.
Be willing to humbly serve God’s work and you’ll find God’s work
is likewise serving to you!
