📖 2 Kings 7
In 2 Kings 7, God brings sudden deliverance to Samaria in the midst of famine and despair. Through Elisha’s prophecy, the unlikely witness of four lepers, and the miraculous retreat of the Syrian army, we see the certainty of God’s word, the danger of unbelief, and the urgency of sharing good news. This chapter reminds us that God’s promises never fail, and His deliverance comes in His time and His way.
