'The axe head...floated!' 2 Kings 6:6 TLB

Second Kings 6 tells of a prophet chopping trees near a river when his iron axe head falls in. He said to Elisha: 'Alas, master! For it was borrowed' (2 Kings 6:5 NKJV). He uses the past tense. As far as he is concerned, this axe head is gone forever. He has no expectation whatsoever that the axe head will be retrieved. He shows Elisha where he lost it. Elisha cuts a stick and flings it into the water, and something happens that most likely never happened before or since: 'The axe head...floated' (2 Kings 6:6 TLB)! Notice, this isn't a life-or-death situation.

Yes, it's a loaned axe head. Yes, it disappeared. But if that's the worst thing you have gone through, you have led a pretty sheltered life. You could put this into the same category as Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding party. Why waste your first miracle on helping a bride and groom avoid embarrassment because they didn't stock enough wine for their reception?

Here's an amazing thing about God: he concerns himself with the little things, like wedding receptions and borrowed axe heads. Nothing is too big for our great God, and nothing is too small for him either. 'Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you' (1 Peter 5:7 NKJV). Note the words 'all your care'. If it matters to you, it matters to your loving heavenly Father. 'In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths' (Proverbs 3:6 NKJV). Note the words 'all your ways'. Today God wants you to share every detail of your life with him.

 

Hey there, Children of God!

Guess what? You've got someone amazing who always has your back, no matter what! Yep, it's none other than God. He cares about every little thing that bothers you. So, whenever you feel worried, scared, or troubled, remember this: you don't have to carry those heavy feelings all by yourself. God wants you to give them to Him!

In the Bible, in the book of 1 Peter 5:7, it says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." Imagine having a huge backpack filled with worries. God is like that awesome friend who says, "Hey, let me carry that for you." How cool is that?

God doesn't want you to be weighed down by worries. He wants you to be happy, confident, and full of joy! So, whenever you feel overwhelmed, talk to God. Tell Him about your fears, your troubles, and your dreams. He's always listening, ready to help you through anything.

Remember, you're never alone. God is with you every step of the way, ready to lift your burdens and fill your heart with peace. So, let go of those worries, and trust in God's love for you. He's got this!

Keep shining bright, Children of God!
