'Then take the flask of oil and pour it on (Jehu's) head and say, "Thus says the LORD, I anoint you king over Israel." Then open the door and flee; do not linger.' ~ 2 Kings 9:3
This unnamed member of the "Sons of the Prophets" Guild was given the task of identifying and anointing the one through whom God was going to bring about the downfall of Ahab's royal family line. No wonder he was told by Elisha to run for your life (!) when his anointing task was completed. One can only imagine the scene that unfolded and the adrenaline that was energizing the actions that followed.
But don't lose the main point.
God was carrying out His justice and vengeance with clarity, perfection, and conviction.
Just like He is still doing to this very day, despite the circumstances that you might find yourself in or what you may see happening around you or on your daily newsfeed.
God is still "just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." (Romans 3:26)
Singing the "Song of Moses"* with prayerful expectancy with you,

PS - How is your prayer for Muslims to encounter Christ going these days of their Ramadan observance? In talking with people who are prayerfully and humbly positioned to hear from God in this unique season of prayer, it is amazing the stories that are being shared of new opportunities and new friendships that are springing up, as if the Holy Spirit Himself is working out God's wonderful plans (smile). Keep praying!
