2 Kings 4:20-23
"20 So the servant took him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But around noontime he died. 21 She carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and left him there. 22 She sent a message to her husband: 'Send one of the servants and a donkey so that I can hurry to the man of God and come right back.' 23 'Why go today?' he asked. 'It is neither a new moon festival nor a Sabbath.'
But she said, 'It will be all right.'"
Perhaps one of my favorite lessons to be learned from God are found in these verses. When it seems the promise of God over your life has been stripped, stolen or just dead; God is indeed preparing for His greatest miracle in your life.
There are times in life whether with family, your career, school and even ministry that you may feel like there is no promise, no hope left. It’s very easy to feel at times that God isn’t listening to your prayers or He’s forgotten about you. Which is why I love this story about this woman who was promised a son by Elisha and after receiving this blessing he dies in the field. Like most of us, who at this point would lose our composure, hope and for some would bring to question their own faith and belief. This woman calls for her servant and donkey and says I’m going to see the man of God, curiously enough there isn’t even a mention that she tells her husband that their son had died, her only response... “It will be alright”.
If we can respond to life and to our situations with this attitude I believe that every forgotten and “broken promise” will be restored to life. Let’s be clear God doesn’t brake promises nor does He change His mind on what he promised you.
"No word returns void from God. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to,and it will prosper everywhere I send it." -Isaiah 55:11
If we can have this mindset that no matter what happens that we can look to God and know that “Everything will be alright”. Your finances, family, ministry; everything that we have we place at His feet and allow God to breath life in it.
Let’s respond to this season knowing that no matter the circumstance or situation that “It will be alright”.
