I Didn’t Mean To! - 2 Kings 6

“Today's church wants to be raptured from responsibility.” Leonard Ravenhill

When God calls on us to walk together – we must not assume that walking together is always easy – sometimes it is difficult or crowded or even accidents happen. Elisha asked for the ‘hard thing’ from Elijah – he got it! The ‘sons of the prophets’ are those gathered to study God’s Word with the preaching prophets – no mainly Elisha. As they are growing the dorms were getting crowed – time to build. As you might expect this bunch of scholars and students did not have an axe among them – so they borrowed one. Equally, as seminary students there seemed to be a lack of lumberjack skills – so the axe broke and the iron head was lost! Now this group of broke students must replace an axe head they had borrowed. This is an wonderful account of responsibility – trust – humility – priority. While I cannot make iron float – I can relate the story God gave of when He did it. Join us Sunday for a fascinating account of God’s working even in the smallest needs. God stands with us even when things happen that we didn’t intend. God is good – all the time!
