Everything is All Right

When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, "Look! There's the Shunammite! Run to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?' "

"Everything is all right," she said.

2 Kings 4:25-26 (NIV)

When the Shunammite women spoke these words, her son was lying in her house dead. Instead of looking at the circumstances, she was believing in the power of God. Instead of speaking negative, she spoke words of faith. She sought Elisha, the man of God and her son was brought back to life.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). Instead of broadcasting all the bad news, speak words of faith. 2 Corinthians 4:18, NLT says, don’t look at the troubles we can see now. We are to fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. Everything is all right, as we follow God's direction, and continually trust in Him.
