2 Kings 4:26
"Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well."
When our confidence and trust is in God, nothing can shake us. When we have a deep faith that is rooted in a deep relationship with Him, knowing intimately Who He is, no crisis can touch that faith.
This woman had just lost her only child, a child who had been a miracle, and no doubt a daily reminder of God's power despite her lack of faith. She would not doubt this time, not like she had before.
Her ability to say "it is well" did not come from some effort on her part to stay positive. It did not come from knowledge that her son would, without a doubt, be revived. Rather it came from an unshakable faith in a God she knew.
Do I have faith like that? Is my trust in God based in my intimate relationship with Him as my Heavenly Father?
