April 3, 2013 – 2 Kings 6

We see here the faith of the king tested by the famine and the faith of the people.  If they believed God would save them, they probably would not have killed the first child.  It does make you wonder what lengths people will go to when they are pushed to an extreme.  It isn’t on the extreme of boiling your child, but I was talking about what people spend their money on with someone and when you look at it, what you can tell from a parent.  We buy our phones, Ipads, apps, video games, and what do we give our children.  Perhaps the answer is that we give them all this same junk too and buy them anything they ask for. But maybe we don’t buy the things that they really need or will actually benefit them.  But, maybe we aren’t buying the things we really need or will benefit us.  A lot of it has to do with the priorities we set for ourselves and a lot has to do with the world and its influence.  But, do we spend our money on our children first and the money we spend on them, is it spent wisely or on things they don’t need.
