And Hazael asked, "Why does my lord weep?' Then he answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel"
Here, we see that much evil that was to come would be revealed to the man of God. He saw the suffering that God's people would go through, and he was moved in his heart and spirit. The Lord may reveal to us, that hard things even we as Christians will go through. While some preach a gospel of health and prosperity, many will encounter periods of hardship that test our faith, having only to rely upon Jesus as we walk with Him. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."
