Read 2 Kings 4:32-37.
The story of Elisha raising the Shunammite woman’s son from the dead reminds us of God’s power over even the most hopeless situations. The boy’s death was a devastating loss, yet the Shunammite woman’s response was marked by faith. She sought Elisha, knowing that the power of God working through him was her only hope.
When Elisha arrived, he didn’t immediately act but instead prayed. His reliance on God highlights an important truth: in our own strength, we are powerless; but through God, the impossible becomes possible. Elisha’s persistence in prayer and trust in God led to a miraculous outcome—the boy was brought back to life.
In our lives, we may face circumstances that feel final, like a closed door or a dead end. But this story reminds us that God is not limited by what we see. He is the God of resurrection, restoration, and hope. Just as the Shunammite woman placed her trust in God’s power, we too can bring our impossible situations to Him, believing He can work in ways beyond our understanding.
Are you facing a situation that feels hopeless? Lay it before the Lord in prayer. Trust His timing, His power, and His purpose. The God who brought life to a lifeless boy can breathe new life into your circumstances today.
