"and let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. And they arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans."
Four leprous men who lived outside of camp indeed felt the effects of blockade. Already living in squalor, their disease made them unfit to enter mainstream society of the day. Already in a state of starvation, probably living in filthy rags, they had nothing to lose as they ventured out in faith, not knowing what awaited them in the enemy camp. What they found was a veritable treasure trove in the empty camp, food, clothing, riches beyond their imagination. Many Christians live like that today, held back by fear, stigma, apprehension or disbelief, as they fail to venture out with faith in the Lord. We are advised to trust in the Lord, leaning not on our own understanding, in all our ways acknowledging Him. (Proverbs 3)
