Blog 2 Kings 7

I was pointed to this chapter today by a devotional I read. After reading this chapter again, I am struck by how many deep spirtual truths are in this story. The part of the story that really has me is when the people in the city who have been in fear and under seige are told there are provisions outside of the city. yet their fear held them captive, while the solution to thier problems wait just on the other side of the city walls. Isnt this the way it is? We focus on our problem, instead of trusting God. The problem fear and anxiety can trap you in a prison of your own making. Its also an illistration of how ignorance to God's promises can trap a person, as the saying goes, the truth you know is the truth that sets you free. A great reason for why we need to study the word for ourselves so we can know what it says and not wait to be told it by someone else.
