Seeking Help

A widow will lose her two sons…
Because the late husband left them in debt
She reached out to Elisha and quickly help came.
How come the husband never thought to do same…

Especially working so close with the prophet 2Kings 4:1
He could easily have accessed the anointed
Rather; he chose to patronize loan sharks…
If not for divine assistance, his boys will end up as slaves

Many things go on in a marriage 
But its better if we learn to walk as one
The woman’s choice of seeking help
Is clearly different from the path the man chose

My mind roams to Peter who needed to pay taxes
He approached Jesus who guided him to a miracle
The woman with the issue of blood
Will not joke with close proximity

While others thronged for views or what else
She moved in with deliberateness
She had her answers; 12 years burden vanished
I can’t be close to fire and keep complaining of cold

I can’t be a child of God and live in bondage
I can’t be a child of God and lack daily needs
I can’t keep starring at ashes that can be made beautiful
Let’s embrace our advantage as believers

Closely he observed Elisha perform divers miracle

He watched as several people receive help 

He chose to be silent about his own challenges

He died a righteous but broke prophet

Our privileges' as Christians gives us a right of access

We don't need an intermediary to access God

But if we chose the path of this prophet

We will likely get his exact results...
