2 Kings 7:1-2
Today's New International Version (TNIV)
7 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
2 The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?”
“You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!”
The impossible surrounds me. The realist in me should say like the king's officer, "Yeah, right, could this really happen? Who are you kidding?" But, I know my God. He is able. And He gives not because I deserve more than anyone else, but because He is God Who grants grace to the undeserving and deserving by human standards.
But the wonderful sister in the Lord who stopped me on the way out from church had been praying for me. And when she saw this 'word', she knew she had to share. "Tomorrow...the floodgates of heaven..." I am not sure exactly how this is panning out, but I do know I must believe lest like the king's officer, I am excluded from partaking in God's gift.
Tomorrow. The floodgates of heaven. I'm not sure what that means exactly for I have learnt that His thoughts may not be mine. I do know what I want it to mean. May it be as You deem fit, my Lord.
May You show up in might and power. May my sons be in awe of You, for there will be no mistaking that it is You.
"Like a crashing wave rolling over me, Holy Love, flow in me."
HOLY LOVE | |
| Many waters cannot quench your love, | rivers cannot overwhelm it |
| Oceans of fe | ar | cannot con | ceal your | love for me |
| Many waters cannot quench your love, | rivers cannot overwhelm it |
| Oceans of fe | ar | cannot con | ceal your | love for me |
| Your | love for me |
| Holy love, | flow in me |
| Fill me up |
| Like the | deepest sea |
| Like a | crashing wave pouring | over me |
| Holy love flow in | me |
Many sorrows cannot quench your love, darkness cannot overwhelm it
I will not fear, your love is here to comfort me
Many sorrows cannot quench your love, darkness cannot overwhelm it
I will not fear, your love is here to comfort me
You comfort me
I will not fear, your love is here to comfort me
Many sorrows cannot quench your love, darkness cannot overwhelm it
I will not fear, your love is here to comfort me
You comfort me
Chorus
Bridge
| When I find you I find | healing |
| When I find you I find | peace |
| And I know that there's no | river so wide |
| No | mountain so high |
| No | ocean so deep |
| That you can't | part the | sea |
Chorus
