2 Kings 7:6 “And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king 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.'”
A certain woman had a son who had died. She called upon Elisha, the “Man of God,” and accepted the healing of her son. Some time later, Elisha told her to leave her country because there would be a 7 year famine. She did as instructed, returning after the famine was spent.
Now, the king became curious about all the wonderful things God had done through Elisha. He asked Gehazi, the servant of the Man of God, for a rundown of “all the great things that Elisha had done.”
(2 Kings 7:4) His account included the story of the woman's son being brought back to life.
And guess who “just happened” to come along, but that very woman! She “cried to the king for her house and for her land.” (2 Kings 7:5). Gehazi said ( paraphrasing here) Hey! That's her! And that's her son who was brought back from the dead!”
From this it is easy to see that God's Blessings follow those who follow Him. She simply obeyed God, and received His favor, over and over!
Wow!
