Tomorrow
About This Time

I've been sitting with 2 Kings 7, and I can't shake it. Samaria is in a famine so bad the city is starving behind its own walls.

And into that, Elisha speaks one sentence: 'Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'

One day. That's all it took. Famine, then prophecy, then one day later — plenty, sold cheap, in the very gate where people had been starving.

Here's what God showed me: the length of struggle does not determine how long God needs to change the situation.

Your famine being old doesn't make God's move slow.

We think long problems need long solutions. We think because it's been months, the change has to be gradual. God is not bound by how long it took to get here.

But here's the part that wrecked me. Don't focus on seeing change in yourself. First look upon the One already changed — and study Him.

The real problem isn't your situation. It's being hyper-focused on self, apart from Jesus — waking up every day studying your own progress, your own lack, your own reflection in a famine mirror.

The answer is almost too simple: only focus on Christ. Reflection. Get into God.

You become the reflection of who you behold.

So stop asking 'when will I change?' and start asking 'who am I looking at?' If you're beholding Him, change is not something you're chasing — it's something you're reflecting. And that can turn around faster than you think. Sometimes it only takes days.
