It Is Well

It Is Well.

II Kings 4:23-25 NKJV

[23] So he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It is well.” [24] Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” [25] And so she departed, and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, the Shunammite woman! 

The enemy watches to see how youll react when things happen around you. It enjoys the drama because it thinks it has scored a point. Most mature believers understand this, so they keep their feelings under check. You don't win spiritual warfare with too much demonstration of how painful the devil's attack has been. This Shunammite is a model. 

    She left the child on Elisha's bed and went to look for the prophet. Four times, she's confronted enough to have broken down and cry as a sister and a mother, but she insisted that it is well. First to the husband who raised reasons she shouldn't travel. Then to Gehazi's questions. All the answers were: It is well. Let me assure you, no matter what you're experiencing, it is well. 

    Someone says, " The enemy may want you to react in ways that are negative, such as: Frustrating you.

The enemy may try to frustrate you so that you curse them out, gossip about them, or treat them badly", or even cry and regret ever being a child of God. Don't give in. Its but a moment. Amy Blossom says, " To win battles you need to know your enemy, but more importantly, you need to know your enemy's tactics. This is especially true in a spiritual battle". 1Peter 5;8 says your enemy looks like a roaring lion. Dont fear. Dont react. Look for God. Don't forget that the devil is a liar and the father of it John 8:44.

  The only time the woman opened up was before the Prophet. Dont just open up for sympathies. It does nothing. And she wouldn't let him go until he came with her. Phew! Thank you Lord. I see your condition, and I say: It is well with you. Hold on. Good morning.
