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. 2 Kings 7:9 KJV
The army of the Syrians had surrounded the king of Israel in the city of Samaria. The people were starving. However, God fought in their behalf and frightened the Syrians away. No one in Samaria knew this, but a group of lepers decided to risk death and enter the camp of the Syrians to see if they could get some food. Entering the camp they found all the Syrians gone and for a short time feasted. They then realized that such good news could not be kept to them but needed to be shared with the people of the city. So we, by application, who have enjoyed the riches of heaven by faith in Jesus Christ must not keep such good news to ourselves but must share it with others that they might enjoy the same.
Lord, I have been able to feast at Your table and enjoy all the riches of heaven through my relationship with You. What a crime it would be if I kept such joy to myself and did not share it with others. Help me fulfill the responsibility that such blessing demands.
