2 Kings 7:2
"Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven"
"Might this thing be"
When we read God's word there are more events were man disobeyed God's will and mock God ; than they are that obeyed God. What happen here with the Samaria Nobleman was disbelief, and mocking of God. Remember in Deuteronomy 28:53-57 God plainly told the children of Israel that they would be punished for their disobedience; However not only that, but what the punishment would be. In 2 Kings we see that what God warned them about has taken place; they were under siege by the Syrian Army and had no food. Just as God said: "And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters." (Deuteronomy 28:53).
Now Let me get to my point of this devotion. God"s judgement had been put in place for Israel now lets look at individual sin that play a part here. Elisha told them to hear the word of God. God said; there would be flour and barley sold at the gate tomorrow. The nobleman's mocking of God: "Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be." Elisha told him he would see it but not eat it. Well we know how his story ended, He was trode on at the gate and died.
Our weak points are God's opportunity of making his own power to be glorious. His time to appear for us when our strength is gone. Unbelief is a sin in which we displease God. When we are in despair, we will do, act or pay any amount to help us get out of despair. First let's be smart; go to God when in despair; with faith things will change in any situation. Let's face it: "It takes a foolish person to mock God." The next time you or I here someone insult and mock; "Our Living God" Let's correct them and show them just how foolish they are. Amen.
May God Bless You
And Your Families
