There are many things that occur in II Kings that I found interesting. We see many kings and their kingdoms raised up and destroyed, but there's a little golden nugget found in II Kings 6. Some of the prophets surrounding Elisha decide to make a dwelling. They go to the Jordan and start to cut down some trees. As one of them was cutting down a tree, his axhead comes off and lands in the water. His exclamation was that it was borrowed.
Elisha finds out where the axhead lands, he throws in a stick and the iron floats. What an amazing spectacle! The impossible is possible when the hand of the Lord is involved.
This is such a small section of Scripture, but it speaks to me in such a profound way. Elisha was a man of God. God uses him in the lives of those around to increase their faith. That same iron floating power if available to us today. Won't we believe that what he has done in years gone by, he can continue to do that work today. Will we believe him?
