The Lord's Watchcare

We as Christians, ought to be those who are particularly thankful for the Lord's watchcare over our lives, all through our lives, from beginning to end. I am speaking of the Lord's providentially so ordering things in our lives that it becomes apparent to us that the Lord is working all things together for our good, and for His glory in the particular places that He leads us, and in the way that He brings to other people's attention, the great things that He has done for us, so that we become witnesses to His loving care for us. We see this watchcare recounted for us in the history of the Shunammite's life, culminating in her interview with the king and the restoration of her lands. Tonight we want to look, 1st of all, at the Lord's watchcare over this notable woman of Shunem, during the time of a famine in Israel. 2nd – We want to think together about the Lord's watchcare when the king asked Gehazi about the great things which Elisha had done for the Shunammite. And 3rd – We want to consider the Lord's watchcare over the Shunammite lady's lands while she was away from them. May the Lord, through this study, convince us of His great care over our lives.
