「進屋裡去，把自己和兒子關在門內。」－列王紀下4:4
因為在此時，他們辦交涉的對象，不是大自然的定律，不是人類的政權；甚至不是教會，不是祭司團，也不是神偉大的申言者。
他們需要離開一切的事物：一切可以讓他們憑倚的，一切他們習慣的思考模式。他們需要進入蔚藍的天、無垠的星空；因為在那裡，只有神自己，在那裡，他們能觸及神蹟的源頭。
關上門，進入密室，單獨的來會見神，在那裡操練禱告和信心的功課，這是神帶領人的一個最重要的過程。
在一生的路途中，總有那麼幾次，神會把我們帶到四圍佈滿高牆的地方，斷絕我們的後路，使我們無法憑著自己以往的經歷來解釋、來越過這到神秘的高牆。
祂把我們和某樣我們需要從神學習的事物關在牆內，讓我們摸索，讓我們學習倚靠祂；直到神在我們生命的布料上，繡上祂親自設計的圖樣。
許多基督徒每天都過著單調乏味的生活，他們以為自己可以料想未來每一天生活的模式。但是早晚神會特別的引領他們到一個與世隔絕的處境，使他們醒悟過來，發現原來他們的一生都在神的手中，他們得學習接受神的對付，單單的仰望祂。
我們若想要看見神蹟，就得像這位寡婦一樣，放下手邊一切事物，轉回到我們靈裡，和我們裡面的神有親密的接觸。－珍寶
"Thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons" (2 Kings 4:4).
They were to be alone with God, for they were not dealing with the laws of nature, nor human government, nor the church, nor the priesthood, nor even with the great prophet of God, but they must needs be isolated from all creatures, from all leaning circumstances, from all props of human reason, and swung off, as it were, into the vast blue inter-stellar space, hanging on God alone, in touch with the fountain of miracles.
Here is a part in the programme of God's dealings, a secret chamber of isolation in prayer and faith which every soul must enter that is very fruitful.
There are times and places where God will form a mysterious wall around us, and cut away all props, and all the ordinary ways of doing things, and shut us up to something Divine, which is utterly new and unexpected, something that old circumstances do not fit into, where we do not know just what will happen, where God is cutting the cloth of our lives on a new pattern, where He makes us look to Himself.
Most religious people live in a sort of treadmill life, where they can calculate almost everything that will happen, but the souls that God leads out into immediate and special dealings, He shuts in where all they know is that God has hold of them, and is dealing with them, and their expectation is from Him alone.
Like this widow, we must be detached from outward things and attached inwardly to the Lord alone in order to see His wonders. --Soul Food
In the sorest trials God often makes the sweetest discoveries of Himself. --Gems
