Theological / Devotional

Send me. It was the busy harvest season, and all the men and animals of this large establishment were in the field. But she asked for the immediate use of one of the animals and its driver.

To the man of God. As a dutiful wife, the woman informed her husband of the journey she proposed to make and of the fact that she planned on an early return, but she did not explain the reason for her trip. Perhaps if she had informed him of her intention to call the prophet to raise her son, who was already dead, he might have deemed the journey useless and might have made an endeavor to dissuade her from her purpose. The matter was one of faith, and she seemed to keep it strictly between herself and God.
