—2 Kings 4:27-37

This Shunamite woman was a courageous and focused individual. Her child needed to be touched by God’s prophet, Elisha, and she wasn’t about to take no for an answer. She didn’t care how rough the journey, she had to reach the prophet and persuade him to help her. The pattern of her actions encourages each of us to take our pressing needs and heartbreaking experiences to the throne of our almighty, merciful and compassionate Savior. If we were to seek the Lord with the same diligence and self-sacrifice that the Shunamite woman demonstrated in her search for Elisha, the results would be nothing short of miraculous.
