When the Lord wants to stretch you to your maximum potential, it might seem like a stress; because a method that used to work for you won’t any more and all previously known solutions would fail.
When the Shunammite woman cried to Elisha for help over her dead son, he quickly responded with a tested solution, asking his servant to go with his staff and lay it on the dead boy. But nothing happened!
Rather than becoming confused and distressed, Elisha knew that the Lord was up for a stretch and so he did: “…and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.” 2 Kings 4:34-35.
If everything you knew to do has failed, the Lord might just intend it for a stretch of your faith, an expansion of your horizons.
Just go ahead and stretch; you would be amazed by the results.
