2 Kings 6:24-7:20Bad things happen at times, and we cannot prevent them. We need to avoid getting an attitude of pessimism when things are not going well. The captain had seen much suffering, and he had grown cynical. When the prophet Elisha predicted a dramatic economic turn-around, he was not able to accept it. When we read from God’s word what he promises for us, we are sometimes guilty of the same cynicism.
LORD, forgive our faithlessness.
