He said, “Call
her.” When he had called her, she stood in the doorway. Then he said, “At this season next year you will embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O
man of God, do not lie to
your maidservant.” The woman
conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as
Elisha had said to her.
When God says something is going to happen in a
season in our lives, we can count on it happening. He gave a promise to this woman that she
would have a son in a certain season, and when that season came to pass, so did his promise.
It’s interesting to note that she was told “at
this season” and then later in the verse, it says “at that season” it happened.
I believe God wants us to know that the seasons
of our lives are sure, he is in control of them, and fruit will come after the
season of barrenness.
He’s calling you by name, just as he did this
woman. God wants to bless you with
fruitfulness. If you are in a season
where all you see is dirt and bare branches, there is hope. The seasons are changing.
As fall begins to show its color in the next few
weeks, look for God’s faithfulness to show up as well. He’s faithful, and he sends us seasons to
remind us of this truth.
