Text:
```2 Kings 4:1 NLT One day the widow of a member of the group of prophets came to Elisha and cried out, “My husband who served you is dead, and you know how he feared the Lord. But now a creditor has come, threatening to take my two sons as slaves.”```
COMMENTARY
A certain woman, a widow ran to Prophet Elisha to help her family. Financial crises looms on almost every family. The question of management is very important to sustain the present and equally have something for your children's future use. Looking critically into the family of this widow, one would be tempted to ask, "what killed her husband?" The answer will not be far fetched. The man might have died out of depression for his debts.
Even death did not wipe the debt automatically. Dying and leaving this world was not a solution because his family became exposed to a bigger problem. The children are now being threatened to be slaves. The action this woman took which eventually brought deliverance would have been taken earlier. What did the woman do? She cried out to a Prophet. If the man who is now late had cried out earlier, perhaps he would have gotten solution and might not have died at the time he died.
This man who is also among the son's of the Prophet was having a big problem such as this but he never cried out. Men are known to be reserved, self sufficient and not wanting to share their pains with anyone. If this man could have people who he borrowed much money from, what prevented him from seeking solution through the Prophet? Most times those who serve on the altar die away while strangers from far away land come receive miracles and solutions to their problems and go back home.
Food for thought:
Economic Challenges is universal._
Prayer:
```Lord help me overcome economic crisis in my life and family in Jesus name.```
