When we come to the point that we see the difference between possessions and blessings, then we can truly see God work in our lives. Earthly things pass away but God's gifts endure forever.

It's interesting though that he gave in so quickly after thinking the solution was ludicrous. He couldn't listen to the prophet whom he sought, and then turned and took advice from his servants! What did they know? Yet he listened to THEIR advice rather than a man of God. Then his faith was based off of what the good o'l boys told him rather than what he was actually seeking...or maybe they just confirmed the Prophet's words and were used by God... hmmm... definitely some thought provoking actions from all the people in this story. But the point is clear, we have our healing, stability, happiness in front of us and the road may seem foreign and not exactly the way we would do it, but that's just it. I love how God's way of settling the situation is so out of the ordinary. If we could rationalize and work our way into our own health and freedom, we wouldn't need God. But oh contrare! We do!!
