SUMMARY: The Shunammite woman sought intimacy with God through her relationship with the prophet Elisha. She was a woman of initiative, respect, and spiritual discernment. She approached her husband to build a room for the prophet to stay in when he visited, showing her desire for deeper intimacy with God and her willingness to bless His servant. This story emphasizes the importance of seeking greater levels of closeness with God, caring for the well-being of God's servants, being detailed and disciplined in our service, and investing materially and financially for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
The Shunammite sought intimacy with God through her relationship with the prophet Elisha. She is a woman of meaning in her community, she is a woman of respectable character, she is a woman who loves the things of God, who is seeking more intimacy with the Lord, who has spiritual discernment.
We see in Second Kings chapter 4 in verses 9 and 10, how this woman approaches her husband and takes the initiative and tells her husband, because she is a wife subject to her husband, but she is a woman of great initiative also.
