Season 8: Bonus Episode: "I didn't ask for this!"
Description
The story of the Shunammite woman tucked away in 2 Kings 4 offers one of the most powerful examples of faith in the face of devastating loss. Her journey through hospitality, unexpected blessing, heartbreaking tragedy, and miraculous restoration speaks directly to anyone who has ever received something wonderful only to have it seemingly taken away.
Though she never asks for it, Elisha prophesies she'll have a son within a year. Her response is fascinating – rather than joy, she essentially says, "Please don't get my hopes up." Haven't we all protected ourselves this way? Guarding against disappointment in areas where we've been hurt before? Yet God speaks directly into this guarded space, and true to the prophecy, she bears a son.
What seemingly dead dreams are you holding today? The Shunammite woman's story reminds us that God sees our sacrifices, knows our unspoken needs, and can breathe life into situations that appear hopelessly lost. Take those dreams directly to where God dwells, believing that resurrection power still exists.
