We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. 2 Kings 7:9

A huge army surrounded the city and God's people were trapped. They were starving and couldn't hold out any longer.

Just outside the city gates, four lepers decided that they should go and ask the enemy army leaders for food. 'The worst they can do is kill us,' these four lepers said. 'And if we don't go and ask, we'll starve to death right here.'

When they arrived at the army camp, the four lepers found that God had scared the whole army away. The terrified soldiers had even left their money and clothes and food behind. The four men filled their stomachs, filled their pockets, and were looking around for bags to carry more money away when one stopped.

'The people in the city are starving,' he said. 'There's all kinds of food here - enough to feed an army. God wants us to go and tell them.'

And that's what these men did. And the city was saved.

Christians don't have mountains of food and clothing and money to share.  But Christians have something even more precious. They have the Gospel - the good news that Jesus died for all. Like the four lepers, Christians need to share the good news with everyone, so people can become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for dying for me. Help me to be faithful in telling others about You. Amen.
