Scripture
2 Kings 7:9 Then they said to each other, "We're not doing right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will over-take us. Let's go at once and report this to the royal palace."

Observation
These men were living in a terrible time of despair. They had stumbled onto great deliverance, the temptation was there to keep it to themselves. Realizing the folly in that, they knew the only right thing to do was to share the "Good News."

Application
We live in a time of both uncertainty and despair, people searching for truth. When Jesus came into my life I knowing that I needed to share the message came easy, the fortitude to continue sharing may be harder. I can't take it for granted but continue to share it freely.

Prayer
God, let a new fire of your presence consume me, pushing me onto greater things in you, pushing me to share to those that do not have that relationship yet. Do not allow this part of my life to grow cold. Amen
