Page 31 - Shalom: The Peace That Comes From Being Whole

Mal. 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not;
therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Therefore His provision for man’s wholeness
does not change. The righteous can be made
whole right here in the earth if they know how
to walk in the promised provisions of God.

He Restored Her Goods
Now, let’s look a little further into the life of
that great Shunammite woman and how God’s
principle of restoration to wholeness benefit-
ted her. This is too good, too dramatic not to
read the whole account from the Scriptures.
The following is from The ArtScrolls Tanach for
you to get the impact of it. The background is
that there was an extreme famine.
Tanach, The ArtScrolls Stone Edition
2 Kings 8:1-6
Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he
had revived, saying, “Arise and go forth, you
and your household, and sojourn where you
would sojourn, for HASHEM has called for a
famine, and it is coming to the land for seven
years.”
So the woman arose and did as the man of God
had told her, and she went with her household,
and sojourned in the land of the Philistines
seven years.
