At the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king to beg for her house and land. The king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, and had said, “Tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.” Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life came to beg the king for her house and land. Gehazi said, “This is the woman, my lord the king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 2 Kings 8:3-5

What are the odds of this happening after you being away for seven years? This woman was the perfect living illustration of what Elisha had been doing all along. The timing couldn’t have been better if they had planned it that way.

I hear Believers talk about a “God moment.” Sometimes everything just falls right into place. To be fair, though, many times the events don’t come together at all, and we’ve all seen those. So what do with do with this God moment of the widow and others in our lives that are clearly moments when everything is lined up perfectly.

First, acknowledge the moment for what is. Thank God for making it all happen, and then ask Him what you should do with it. If things have all come together or if they’ve all fallen apart, we ask the same question, “Lord, what now?” because it may not be all that apparent what we should do when it’s happening.

I don’t believe that God is all about making things smooth and coming together just so we can have touch-feely God moments. No, He’s more about working in our lives no matter what comes our way so that He will get the glory, no matter what.
