And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
(2 Kings 4:9)Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
(Matthew 25:13) Waiting for your visitation
The Shunammite woman prepared a room for the prophet Elisha to stay in whenever he passed by her house. She kept the room clean, furnished it with a lamp, table, and chair, and left it reserved for the Lord to visit. Even though weeks or months passed without the prophet staying in the room, she did not lose hope and continued to keep the room prepared. This is a spiritual lesson for us to not get discouraged if God's call on our lives has not yet materialized. We should keep our lives and souls prepared, with our lamps burning and our hearts clean, and wait for God to visit us in His own time. Like Joseph, who was given a dream by God and then sent on a journey of preparation, we should stay prepared for God's call to be realized in our lives.
