  10. Take a confession for today from Juha chapter one, verse eight,

  11. Chatter one, verse eight, they spoke of the law.

  14. according to all that is written in it. For then

  15. I'll make my way prosperous, and then I will have

  16. good success.

  17. In Amen. Today we bring you the final part of

  18. the message Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before

  19. God's word. Know your Place Part three, Stay humbled before

  20. God's Word. Our scripture reading shall be taken from Second

  21. Kings chapter seven, verse one to eleven, and then from

  22. the assisteing to to second King Stapture seven, verse one

  23. to eleven, and then from sixteen to twenty I will

  24. be reading from the new International version. Elisha replied, hear

  25. the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord

  26. says about this time tomorrow, a seer of the finest

  27. flower will sell for a shekel, and two seers of

  28. ballet for a sherkele. At the gates of Samaria, the

  29. officer on whose arm the King was leaning said to

  30. the manocole, Look, even if the Lord should open the

  31. flat gates of heavens, for this happened, you will say

  32. it with your own eyes, answered Elisha, But you will

  33. not eat any of it. Now, there were four men

  34. with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They

  35. said to each other, whilst they hear, until we die.

  36. If we say we'll go into the city, the farming

  37. is there and we will die. And if we stay

  38. here we will die. So let's go over to the

  39. camp of the Arabians and surrender. If they spare us,

  40. we'll live. If they kill us, then we die. At dusk,

  41. they got up and went to the camp of the Ramians.

  42. When they reached the edge of the camp, no one

  43. was there. For the Lord had caused the Arabians to

  44. hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army.

  45. So they set to one another. Look, the King of

  46. Israel has hired the hit Tiites and Egyptians kings to

  47. attack us. So they got up and fled in the

  48. dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys.

  49. They left the camp as it was and ran for

  50. their lives. The men who had leprosy reached the edge

  51. of the camp, enter one of the tents and ate

  52. and drank. Then they took silver, gold and clothes and

  53. went off and hit them. They returned and entered another

  54. tent and took some things from it and hid them also.

  55. Then they said to each other what we are doing

  56. is not right. This is a day of good news,

  57. and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait

  58. until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let's go at once

  59. and report this to the royal palace. So they went

  60. and called out the city gatekeepers and told them we

  61. went into the Arabian camp and no one was there,

  62. not a sound of anyone, only turted horses and donkeys,

  63. and the tents left chase as they were. The gatekeepers

  64. shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace

  65. the verse sixteen to twenty. When the people went out

  66. and plundered the camp of the Ramians, so a seer

  67. of the finest flower sold for a shirtle, and two

  68. seers of ballet sued for a sheircle, as the Lord

  69. had said. Now the King had put the officer on

  70. whose arm he leaned, in charge of the gates, and

  71. the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died

  72. just as the man of God had fortilled. When the

  73. king came down to his house. It happened as a

  74. man of God had said to the King, about this

  75. time tomorrow, a seer of the finest flower will sell

  76. for a sheirkele, and two seers of ballet for a

  77. shakele at the gates of Samaria. The officer had said

  78. to the man of God, Look, even if the Lord

  79. should open the flat gates of heavens, could this happened.

  80. The man of God had replied, you will see it

  81. with your own eyes, but she will not eat any

  82. of it. And that is exactly what happened to him,

  83. For the people trampled him in the gates with and

  84. he died. The Lord add his blessings to the reading

  85. and hearing of his word.

  86. Fancy God, Amen, know your place Part three, stay humbled

  87. before God's word, beloved. In the pat two of Know

  88. Your Place, we lend that one of the quickest ways

  89. to lose what God has given us is to begin

  90. acting as though we gave it to ourselves. Vasty for

  91. God who placed the crown upon her head, but esther

  92. never did. And we saw how humility preserved what pride forfeited.

  93. Today we arrive and perhaps the greatest test of humility

  94. our response to the word of God. From our opening scriptures,

  95. we saw that the city of Samaria was in the

  96. gripe of one of the worst famines in its history.

  97. Food had become almost impossible to find, Desperation failled every home.

  98. Then into that hopeless situation, the prophet Elijah spoke an

  99. astonishing promise. Tomorrow about this time, a measure of fine

  100. flowers shall be sold for a shekel. It sounded impossible.

  101. Standing beside the king was one of his chief officers,

  102. a man of influence and authority. The scriptures describe him

  103. as the officer upon whose hand the king leaned. He

  104. was no ordinary man, Yet instead of receiving the word

  105. with humility, he answered, look, if the Lord would make

  106. windows in heaven, could this thing be Notice what happened.

  107. He was not speaking to another officer. He was responding

  108. to the word of God spoken through God's prophet. He

  109. forgot where he stood. His reasoning quietly rose above God's revelation.

  110. Elijah answered solemnly, in fact, you shall see it with

  111. your eyes, but you shall not eat of it. And

  112. exactly as God had spoken, the farming ended. Overnight, food

  113. became super abundant. The officer witnessed the miracle, yet died

  114. at the city gate before he could partake of it. Beloved,

  115. this account is not preserved merely to warn us against unbelief.

  116. It teaches us something deeper. There is a posture the

  117. heart must maintain whenever God speaks. We may not fully

  118. understand his ways. We may not see how his promises

  119. will come to pass. We may wrestle with questions, but

  120. we must never place our reasoning above his word. The

  121. safest place for every believer is beneath the authority of scripture.

  122. I take it again, The safest place for every believer

  123. is beneath the authority of Scripture. This same temptation still

  124. confronts us today. God says, forgive our emotions, say hold

  125. on to the offense. God says, give our calculations. Say

  126. wait until there is more. God says, do not fear

  127. our circumstances, say panic. Every day we are deciding which

  128. voys will occupy the highest place in our hearts. Beloved,

  129. Knowing our place means allowing God's word to have the

  130. final say. It means approaching scripture not as its editor,

  131. but as its students, not as its judge, but as

  132. It's sevant. For whenever God's word and our opinions stand

  133. or post, one of them has bow. May it never

  134. be God's word, precious one, Let us know our place.

  135. Let us remain humble before his word. Let us trust

  136. even when we cannot trace him. For heaven and earth

  137. may pass away, but his word shall never fail. God,

  138. richly bless you, Let us kindly take our memory verse

  139. for today. Our memory verse is taken from Anxiet chapter

  140. fifty five, from the verse aide to nine, ASI chapter

  141. fifty five from the verse age to nine. I will

  142. be reading from the New King James version for my

  143. thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your wyte my ways,

  144. says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than

  145. the earth, so am I ways higher than your ways,

  146. and my thoughts than your thoughts. For my thoughts are

  147. not your thoughts, nor are you waste my ways, says

  148. the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

  149. so are my ways higher than your ways, and my

  150. thoughts than your thoughts. Aimen, Please let us share a

  151. word of prayer. Our heavely Father, We thank you for

  152. the blessing of this word. Please give us a heart

  153. that always trembles at your word. Please deliver us from

  154. pride on belief, and every tendency to place our reasoning,

  155. no matter how sound, above your world. Teach us to

  156. trust you even when we cannot understand your ways. Please

  157. let your word always have the highest authority in our lives.

  158. In Jesus a thing, Amen.

  159. This marks the end of the series on know your place.

  160. Always remember that the deliver who knows his place before

  161. God will never lose his place in the purpose of God.

  162. Let us keep walking before God in all humility. God,

  163. richly bless you our morning glory devotion will come your

  164. way again on Monday morning by Ghost Grease. At the

  165. same time, keep your dolls right here on Radio HCI
