Has a desire been burning like the branding of cattle inside your heart? Dismiss it not when it aligns with the Word and peace proceeds. Prodding you on is a purpose, penned from before time and written for you.

However long it takes for it to unfold, remain in the lane of your dreams. God is designing circumstances and orchestrating people to perform on your behalf.

Have a dose of encouragement from a widow encountering a rough and lonely road. Her son was snatched by death and starvation stared her down. Holding onto the rope of a prophet’s faith, she stayed in the lane of hope. Her boy walked out of death’s door, and she found food on foreign soil. Providence didn’t stop here. 

Heaven pointed its compass for her to return home. Having to beg for her house and cry for her land, the timing bears God’s impeccable plan. As the king was beckoning Elisha’s servant to share all what the prophet has done, the story of this widow is heard.  On stage like an actress, this widow appears, and the servant says, “why she’s here!”

“Return all she possesses,” the king bellows out, for Elisha was a prominent man. A widow’s encounter with a prophet of God, kept her in the lane of His plan.

So, believe my dear friend for your desires will blend, with the people and provision which God does send.

Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life; saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God. And she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now. 2 Kings 8: 1-6
