I love when I am reading God’s Word and He just brings to light something I haven’t seen before, don’t you?
A year ago, I was reading through the books of First and Second Kings, and I really lingered with the stories of Elijah and Elisha, the prophets. And I stumbled upon two stories that I had known about Elisha, but that hit me in an entirely new way. And it hit me big enough that I STILL think about it today.
Hebrews 4:12 says that God’s Word is living and active, and part of that means that we can come to the same Bible passage time and again, and God will reveal new things about it, or put it in a different perspective, or speak to us in a different way.
And that’s exactly what happened here. These two stories reveal the beautiful way that Elisha helps two women he crosses paths with. Specifically, there are two different questions he asked, and that’s what I want us to focus on today. I think we can learn a lot from him. Especially when it comes to looking after those around us.
I didn’t realize a prophet could teach me so much about care and encouragement. Are you ready to hear what his two questions are? Let’s dive in.
