1 Kings 14:4-5

(4) And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. (5) And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.

What an interesting view is here given us of the Lord's servant, and yet infinitely more of the graciousness of the Lord himself. Reader! how blessed are those who when the bodily eyes fail, have a sight by faith, and enjoy the visions of the almighty! and oh! how doubly blessed when Jesus sweetly visits them and manifests himself to them; when (as the church beautifully expresseth it) he standeth behind our wall, looketh forth at the windows and showeth himself through the lattice. Song of Solomon 2:9.
