IT IS WELL

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 2 Kings 4:25b – 26

So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look the Shunammite woman! Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’ And she answered, “It is well.”

Additional Verses

📖 2 Kings 4: 8-37; Psalm 23:1-6; John 11: 1-44

The Shunammite woman’s faith in 2 Kings 4:8-37 teaches of the God kind of faith that is expected of every child of God. The woman had been blessed with a son from God through the word of the man of God, Elisha. When her son got ill and suddenly died, the woman did not rush to do anything before consulting with the man of God Elisha. The woman laid the dead child on the bed of the man of God in the upper room of their house and proceeded to go and look for Elisha. The woman did not allow the state of her dead son to distract her from the direction of her faith in God through the man of God through whom she had received the gift of the child. Even when her husband attempted to stop her from going after Elisha, the woman just proceeded. A dead child in the room for the man of God, she told her husband – it is well. When Elisha saw her and sent his servant to meet and ask her if it was well with her or if it was well with her husband or if it was well with her child, the woman’s response was, “It is well.” I do not know how you would have responded if it were you in the woman’s position. I am quite sure you would have blown the trumpet in order to let everyone know that you are grieving. The Shunammite woman knew who to talk to and ignored any form of barrier. She knew where she had received the gift from and she very well knew where to turn to in time of distress. Even when Elisha sent his servant to go and pray for the child ahead of him, the woman refused to return without Elisha. She actually said to him, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Her faith in God through the servant of God actually paid off. Her son was raised again to life through the servant of the LORD, Elisha. The Shunammite woman quoted the same words that Elisha had declared when Elijah was about to be taken to heaven by the LORD. 2 Kings 2:2b says, “And Elisha said to him, As the Lord liveth, and as your soul liveth, l will not leave thee.” So they went down together to Beth-el. Elisha refused to be left behind by his master Elijah until they were separated by a chariot of fire and horses of fire and Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. I do not know your situation which you are going through right now. But I would like to assure you that if you trust God through His Word and through His anointed servants, all will be well with you. Do not be discouraged by slow progress or so called unanswered prayer requests, remember that God is right inside you. 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” God guides with wisdom and not with speed. Keep trusting His direction even when it stretches your faith. There is power in your mouth. The belief in your heart is released by faith out of your mouth. You must know that there is no situation which the LORD Jesus Christ cannot address. All you have to do is to call upon His name in faith and all is well with you. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for this beautiful day that You have allowed me to see. I know You have a purpose for me today no matter my situation. I ask that You take over my life and direct me in the paths that You so wish. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
