"Hear the word of the Lord.." (2 Kings 7:1)
The people are starving. There is no food. Our last chapter tells us the story of two women who made a pact together to eat their son.
But, God provides for the people. Elisha announces the word of God: "Hear the word of the Lord..." Tomorrow there will be food and the people will live. But, not all the people, the one captain will be trampled to death as the community runs out to feed themselves.
Lately, one of my primary focuses has been on the upcoming affirmation of our confirmands (my granddaughter included). The service is not yet ready. I have not even heard what hymns/songs our musicians have selected. But, I do know what the choir will be singing to encourage our confirmands and congregation to have life and have it abundantly. They will be singing "Dem Dry Bones" and encouraging us all to: "Hear the word of the Lord." (Ezekiel 37:4)
The LORD provides. He provides. He gives life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Just a little off track this morning... But, a good reminder to read and "Hear the word of the Lord."
