In 2Kings 6:1-7 we read the account of Elisha and the floating iron axe head. How that by cutting a stick and tossing it into the water where the axe head fell in, Elisha made the iron swim on the surface. This is a miracle of God. But I noticed something about this act of God in my devotions today. It is interesting how we think that God can only work in big services or during a big event.
But this floating axe head miracle was not during a church service. There were not thousands of people present. There was nothing dramatic about it. And yet God made the iron swim like a fish. He did this to help in a time of need. They could have jumped in the water and retrieved the axe head I suppose. But God helped them and it ended well.
I noticed also how when the axe head fell into the water the guy did not try to figure out what to do. He just whined and cried and acted like it was a big deal. How often do we make a mountain out of a mole hill when facing some minor problem.
The last thing that I noticed was how pastor Elisha was there present with them. He was not back home praying or studying or taking care of business. He took the time to be with the young guys who had a job to do. Elisha being there made a big difference.
Are you facing some problem today? Ask God for His help. No problem is too big. And no problem is too small. God will help you.
