Life is filled with storms and difficulties and troubles. We need an anchor for our soul, a rock on which to stand. That rock is Christ, but it only becomes a foundation when we take hold of His word in all faith.

Jesus said, “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.”

When you take God at His word, when you take hold of that word for your life, in other words, when you live by faith, you will discover the blessings of believing. God wants you to build your life on the promises of God. Storms will come, this world is filled with troubles, evil is all around us, and a wise man will be ready for the storms by having an anchor for the soul; a rock on which to stand.

The events of our study today take place in the northern kingdom of Israel. Life in Israel in those days was exceptionally dark and difficult. One of the sons of Ahab was reigning as king; the Hebrews of northern Israel had turned their back on Jehovah and were following after Molech, the Ashtoreth, Chemosh and all the other gods of this world.

And yet, while the nation of Israel was turning their back on God, He was pursuing them. He made Himself known to them, demonstrating His power through the prophet Elisha, making known the promises of His Word, but also warning that their unfaithfulness would bring death to the nation.

If you turn your back on God, he will pursue you also. God will never quit, He’ll never leave or forsake you.
In 2 Kings 7, Israel was in battle against Aram and at this point, they had besieged Samaria, the capital of northern Israel.

Things had become so desperate in the city of Samaria that a donkey's head was selling for 80 shekels of silver and two cups of dove's dung was selling for five shekels of silver; probably to make dove’s dung soup.

In the midst of this trouble God made an amazing promise; the famine would end overnight and a measure of fine flour would be selling for one shekel.

As the story unfolds, it is filled with spiritual application and insight. We certainly understand trouble, trials, and difficulties, but what we need to understand is how to respond. When we respond with faith, blessings surely follow.
