2 Kings 5-7

In 2 Kings 7 we find godless Samaria in the midst of a siege by the army of Syria. To show faithless Israel, and us, just how true God remains to his covenants he rescues Samaria. Not when they were expecting it but after they had given us on surviving. And it was through those pangs of hunger that God delivered his messages of relief. Four hungry outcasts where living in the no-man's land of the siege. When there were no more scraps to feed them their stomach's led the into the Syrian camp. They were the first to witness God abundance in his deliverance. They shared this Good News with the people of Samaria. And the people celebrated with joy.
