***Morning Scripture***
2 Kings 4:20-30
20 When he had carried and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door behind him and left.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return.”
23 He said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It will be all right.”
24 Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Drive fast; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you.”
25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.
When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
26 Please run now to meet her and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’” And she answered, “It is well.”
27 When she came to the mountain to the man of God, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi approached to push her away; but the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is desperate and troubled within her; and the Lord has hidden the reason from me and has not told me.”
28 Then she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not give me false hope’?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand, and go; if you meet any man, do not greet him and if a man greets you, do not answer him; and lay my staff on the face of the boy.”
30 The mother of the child said, “As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So Elisha arose and followed her.
