2 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? 4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

I had to share this scripture. These men had the right idea. They were already outcast, what did they have to lose. Most all of us have heard the saying “I might die, but I will die trying.”

So what do we do to get our miracle? Stay in the Word, medicate on it day and night, and plant it in our hearts. We need to do a mind change, an attitude change. I am going to do my part to get my miracle. I want to get a hold of what God has for me and I am not going to let go. I will not just sit here and wait for somebody else.

And the rest of the story. 5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 6 For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. 9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

Not only did they live, but they became rich because of what they did. Where they wrong for plundering the left items? No those items were left behind when the Syrians ran from the noise. They also went and let the town know what they found.

Something else came to me as I was writing this. We as Christians should pay heed to this. The lepers were still lepers, but now they were rich lepers. Better to be rich lepers then poor lepers. Better to be rich in the Lord, then poor in the world. Think about that.

God Bless,
