Can You Believe It!

What a great Share-a-thon we just had! It was scheduled to begin April 7, which it did, but though it was also scheduled to end at midnight Thursday April 9, the goal was reached Wednesday (8th) at 5:22 PM Eastern Time! We saw the Lord do great things during this Share-a-thon as He always does! Though our national and even global economic situation may not be the best, and we know that there are serious problems being faced today, yet our Lord is not bound by these concerns.He moved upon the hearts of His people and you responded beautifully! In this we’re reminded of the situation in Israel during the prophet Elisha’s time, as recorded in 2 Kings chapter 7, as the bloodthirsty and power-hungry Syrians threatened to utterly destroy Israel. Yet Elisha prophesied that not only would Syria not destroy Israel at that time, but the Lord would see to it that Israel would enjoy unbelievable economic plenty beginning the very next day! We see the account in 2 Kings 7:1-2: “Then Elisha said, Hear ye the Word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, ‘To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’ Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, ‘Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?’ And he said, ‘Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.’” The official that made that unbelieving remark to Elisha couldn’t imagine the Lord being able to do what He said He would, and Elijah responded that he would see it, but since he would not believe, he would not be able to savor it!
