Creating Upper Rooms
We explore the powerful story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4, a testament to faith, hospitality, and hope. This woman exemplifies what it means to be 'too much' in all the right ways. She teaches us three crucial lessons: First, make space for God's presence in our lives, turning visitation into habitation. Second, dare to get our hopes up, even when disappointment tempts us towards cynicism. Finally, go directly to God with our needs, trusting in His power to breathe life into seemingly hopeless situations. As we reflect on this story, we're challenged to examine where we need to be 'too much' in our own faith journey, creating room for God's presence and daring to hope in His promises.
