Restoration

Restoration is the word of the day! A couple of nights ago I was studying 2 Kings 8 and I saw a Wow moment! It's how the widow left her home and land for 7 years. "And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. Then the king did this for her... he appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now." She didn't do a thing except to go before the king. He did it all for her because he wanted her to receive. She was granted complete favor not in what "she did" but what the king wanted to do for her. I think we get sidetracked into thinking we have to do something to get God to move when in fact, God is moved because Christ did something for us. This widow did not toil in the field to produce fruit for seven years. She wasn't working the land but she still received the fruit of that land. The Lord gives us what we need and even the overflow where we did not expect it. Present yourself before the King and you will see His goodness and His love for you.
