The springtime weather in Northeast Oklahoma is often threatening and severe. When lightening affected the power lines to our house, we would grope around in the dark, trying to locate the candles to shed some light on our surroundings.
Then when the problem was fixed and the lights came back on again, we experienced the power of electricity.
In today's devotional passage, the overwhelming grief of the Shunammite woman is evident. Her son was dead. Meeting Elisha on the road, she pleaded with him to go back home with her because she knew God could use Elisha to raise her son.
Elisha came. He prayed. Then he placed himself upon the boy and waited upon God. Later, God's power was reveled; and the boy was restored to life.
Lord, help me to draw near to You, pray, and patiently wait so I may experience Your power in my life.
