CHRIST OUR LIFE 1. Bread of life (John 6:35). 2 . Fountain of life (Psalm 36:9). 3. Tree of life (Revelation 2:7). 4. Light of life (John 8:12). 5. Path of life (Psalm 16:11). 6 . Word of life (I John 1:1). 7. Prince of life (Acts 3:15). MARKS OF A "GREAT WOMAN" II Kings 4:8-37 If we class Elisha among the heroes of the Bible, we must call the Shunammite woman a heroine, and one of the great women of the Bible. 1. P iety (v. 8 ). She was one of the seven thousand who had never bowed the knee to Baal. Though wealthy, she trust ed not in uncertain riches, but in the living God. 2. Generosity (v. 8 ). She was a gener ous supporter of God’s cause and God’s servants. She built a room entirely for the use of Elisha (v. 10). 3. Discernment (v. 9). Spiritually- minded herself, she soon perceived the sincerity and goodness of Elisha. She discerned in him a man of kindred spirit, whose presence would bless her home. 4. Contentment (v. 13). She had no ambition for a high position, but pre ferred to live humbly among her own lowly neighbors and friends. She could say, “ I have learned . . . to be content” (Phil. 4:11). 5. Faith (w . 16, 17). She had faith that Elisha’s promise would be fulfilled; faith, when the child died, that he would be raised to life again. Though doubting Gehazi, she had firm confidence in Elisha and Elisha’s God (w . 26, 30), and her faith was gloriously rewarded, as faith always is (v. 37). THE USE OF THE COMMONPLACE 1. Moses and his rod (Exod. 4:2). Trace history of rod (Exod. 4:2, 17, 20; 7:15, 17; 14:16; 17:5). Had to be “ cast.” 2. Gideon and his pitchers (Judg. 7:16, 20). Had to be empty and “ broken.” . 3. Widow and her two mites (Mark 12:42). Her all; had to be “ given.” 4. The Master and the towel (John 13: 4). Had to be “ girded.” 5. Dorcas and her needle (Acts 9:39). Needs “ use” to keep bright. Blessing not in the commonplace, but in the use of that which is wholeheartedly given to the Lord.
Choose your own orphan from this group o f lovely children. For only $10 a month—just 30 pennies a day —you become a sponsor, a “Daddy” or “Mommy,” “Big Brother” or “Big Sister” for a child who is waiting and praying for someone who cares. Perhaps a friend will want to share the privilege with you, $5 each. Or suggest to your Sunday school, ladies’ group or church organization this worthy missionary work. As a sponsor your support will provide food, shelter, clothing, education. You will also help train a future Christian leader. The orphan you sponsor, if old enough, will write; if not, a staff member will do so. Any parcel of toys or clothing sent will .be grate fully acknowledged. What an oppor tunity for joy and blessing this per sonal contact will be to you.
