2 Kings 6:32-7:20: The reason why we wait for the Lord!

Rev. Tom Eckstein of Concordia Lutheran Church, Jamestown, ND, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study 2 Kings 6:32-7:20.

In grief the king asks “Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?” We don’t like to wait, especially in trials. For the Israelites God provided by word of lepers from the camp of the Syrians. It was almost unimaginable just days before. Through Christ goggles, we look at our own lives and see how God provides in unlikely ways which shows us why we are able to wait for the LORD: the cross and empty tomb. He provides salvation. Why would He not give us all things? “Lord God, help us to wait on You. Help us to see how You have provided in the past and we are able to wait knowing the ultimate hope of new life with You. Lord have mercy. Amen”
