2 Kings 7:18 "The man of God had said to the king, 'By this time tomorrow in the markets of Samaria, five quarts of choice flour will cost one piece of silver, and ten quarts of barley grain will cost one piece of silver.'"
In Israel there has been a long famine. The king is desperate and angry, blaming God and his servant Elisha for the unending drought. The king goes to Elisha with the intent to kill him. Then Elisha predicts that in 24 hours the famine will be over. And sure enough in 24 hours, the drought was over.
God always provides. He provides what we need when we need it. I too often forget that and depend upon myself to get out of tough situations. I think I am in control and it's up to me. I then worry when things are beyond my control. I need to remain calm and understand that God will provide. He'll take care of me and I need to just trust him in all circumstances. Today I need to trust God with my house. It will sell when it's the right time. Maybe not in 24 hours, but at the right time!
Dear Jesus, help me trust in you and in your timing. And please sell my house in 2012! Amen.
