Christian Devotional – May 4, 2012

VERSE:
2 Kings 4:14–So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi answered, “Truly she has no son and her husband is old.”

TRUTH:
This woman had been kind and thoughtful and generous toward Elisha and he wanted to repay her. But, he didn’t know what to do for her. He asked her, but she humbly declined his offers. Finally, Elisha’s servant Gehazi hit upon a need and desire of this woman’s heart. God knows our needs and the desires of our hearts even when we’ve not told anyone else. We can trust God to love us enough to give us what is best for us in His perfect timing.

RESPONSE:
Father, You know my heart. You know what joys and what pains are to be found thee, even if I’ve told no one else. Father, I love You and I trust You, like this woman, to bring what is best for me in the right time and way. You are amazing and I love You.
