Verse from 2 Kings

Go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the Lordhas decreed a famine. 2 Kings 8:1

A woman from the town of Shunem experienced God’s providence. In faith, she’d followed the prophet Elisha’s advice, leaving home to avoid a famine (2 Kings 8:1-2). In doing so, she’d forfeited her claim to her house and land. Now, at the exact moment she was seeking help from the king about this matter, the king just happened to be talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, about her.

Years earlier, Gehazi had seen the woman’s dead son raised to life. Now, Gehazi said, "This is the woman, my lord the king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life" (v. 5). The king then “assigned an official to her case” (v. 6) and returned her property.

We can trust in God and His care even when things may not go as we planned. Our sovereign God will help us.
