“Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.” II Kings 7:16 NKJV
a. Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians: When the good news that started with the report of the lepers was found to be true, there was no stopping the people. Because they knew their need, they were happy to receive God’s provision to meet that need.
i. The king’s officer “derided the possibility of the prophet’s prediction; and no doubt had plenty of adherents. But the leper’s report swept away all his words to the winds. They had known, tasted, and handled.” (Meyer)
b. According to the word of the LORD: Through Elisha, God announced the exact prices in the Samaritan markets, and the prophecy was proven to be precisely true. (Guzik)
According to the Word of the Lord!
That is a powerful statement and God is true to His word unlike man!
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 NKJV
“But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.” I Peter 1:25 NKJV
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
Do you believe the Word of the Lord?
Blessings
