Trust the Prophet
Sometimes trusting in the counsel of our prophets and being obedient to their teachings takes much faith. In 2 Kings 6–7 we are given examples of how the Lord gives power to His prophets and brings to pass the fulfillment of their words. As you read, notice what happens to those who believe in the prophets and compare with those who doubt the Lord’s prophet.
