“He replied, "If the LORD
won't help you, what help can I provide? Do I have any wheat or wine? What's
your trouble?" She answered, "The other day this woman here suggested
that we eat my child, and then eat her child the next day. So we cooked my son
and ate him. The next day I told her that we would eat her son, but she had
hidden him!" 2Kings 6:27-29.
The woman in our text ate her son two days before the miracle happened. Two days after she ate her son, abundance came to Samaria through divine intervention. God helped the land. Beloved, God will help you. Don’t bow to ungodly pressure. If you do not bow, you cannot burn. God is never too late. The devil has a way of using contrary situations to harass people, but if you will hold tight to God and His promises, He will give you a miracle. The story of this woman is similar to that of Saul in 1 Samuel 13. When Saul saw that the people had scattered, he offered the sacrifice that Samuel should offer. Samuel arrived as he was finishing, and that cost Saul the kingdom. A minute of patience can land you in your miracle, while a minute of wrong action can be grossly expensive.
“And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering..” 1 Samuel 13:11-12
" For
our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen
are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians
4:17-18
Stop expecting the worst, start expecting the best. God always turns things around for His people. Your affliction will give way to your glory. Follow them, who, through faith and patience, inherit the promise. Never give up praying. Pray until you see the result.
You will never be put to shame, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer for today: O God, let people know that you have done a mighty thing for me, in Jesus’ name.
Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord. I invite you into my life to save my soul. Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
