Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Although she was affluent, and excelled in the qualities of hospitality and piety, the Shunammite Woman had an ache in her heart that could not be eased. In Ancient Times, childlessness was a reproach, and there were no "Fertility Clinics" or "Baby Doctors" to help out.

It didn't matter whose "fault" it was, and indeed, in the case of this lady, it was her husband who was too old, yet she alone bore the shame. I know. It wasn't fair, but that's the way it was.

Yet, God used this very particular and painful scenario to perform the greatest miracles in the Bible. Sarah, Rebbecca, Rachel, Hannah, and several others in the Hebrew Scriptures, as well as Elizabeth in the Gospels, all suffered from this same malady. As unfair as the public shame associated with infertility was, all of the aforementioned ladies became miraculously pregnant with very important Patriarchs and Saints.

The incredulity of the Shunammite Woman was not dealt with as severely as some of the other recipients of this particular miracle. Sarah actually LAUGHED when she heard the news, and was reprimanded for it. The event was forever enshrined in the name of her firstborn: Isaac, which means "Laughter". In the Gospel of Luke, Zacharia was struck dumb for the duration of his wife's pregnancy for his unbelief.

Bringing forth life from the infertile is a glorious miracle that emphasizes the Omnipotence of Almighty God.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"Elisha and the Shunammite Widow"

_ ND it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.

And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
