Who is next to you?

Whose next to you?  Who stands near and has your ear?  Whose texts do you receive and ponder?  Whose calls do you take?

An unnamed captain of King Benhadad had his ear.  The King was furious at God and Elisha, God’s prophet, because his country was suffering.  ‘Why should I hope in the Lord?’ II Kings 6: 33.  Elisha prophesied that the next day, his country would prosper, miraculously!

The captains words, condensed version.  “Impossible!”

Elisha’s response the miracle will happen and you, captain, will die.

It happened.  This captain was no spiritual encourager to King Benhadad.

Our lesson today.  Who has our ear?  Whose next to us?  Are they God followers, humble, bold to speak His words?

We need those godly people around us more than ever.
