“And the king said unto her, what aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat: and she hath hid her son” 2Kings 6:28-29.
When someone gives you a risky counsel, ask him to do it first. This will reveal the motive behind the counsel. If the counsel is evil, reject it outrightly no matter the circumstances.
The woman in our text was given an evil, irrevocably risky counsel and she foolishly acted on it because of the pressure of famine. She lost her son 48hours before miracle came to the land. Always remember that when you take a counsel, you also take the consequences. If she had asked the woman to do it first, that would have ended the counsel. This is because the woman gave the counsel for selfish reason.
As you go about your business this week, you will not act wrongly in Jesus name.
