II Kings 7:3

II Kings 7:3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? Benhadad sent his troops to Israel and surrounded the capital, Samaria. The city walls were secure, so he laid siege to the city. The Syrian army had the Israelite crops and cattle to live on, so they patiently waited for the king of Israel to starve and surrender. Inside they were starving, but outside, there was plenty of food. Four leprous men were hanging around the outside of the city gate. The Syrian soldiers didn’t dare touch them or they might catch leprosy. But the Israelites wouldn’t let them into the city or they would catch leprosy. The four poor lepers were stuck in between. Finally, the lepers said one to another, “Why are we just sitting here? We are starving and are going to die. Let’s just go to the Syrians and they might be nice to us and give us a little bread and water. Hey, we’re going to die of starvation anyway!” But just that very night, God sent a powerful noise to the Syrian camp. The Syrians thought that the Hittites were coming to rescue Israel! They ran for their lives leaving everything behind! Their tents, their horses, their cooking pots - absolutely everything! So when the lepers went that morning to surrender to the Syrians, the Syrians were gone and the lepers had a feast of free food! God had provided deliverance for Israel once again. And God will deliver you from your impossible situation. God will take care of you!
