Scripture focus

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

Commentary on 2 Kings 8:5

Theological / Devotional

As he was telling. At the dramatic moment when Gehazi was telling the king how the Shunammite woman’s son had been restored from death to life, the woman herself came in. Incidents such as this do not just happen. God lives and has a part in the daily affairs of His children on earth. Guardian angels are ever at work to protect and direct the steps of those under their charge into pathways of success and blessing. The same Lord who spoke through Elisha worked through His angel messengers to direct the woman of Shunem to the palace of the king at exactly the right moment, when her plea would prove most effective.
