Today's Passage: 2 Kings 5-6
Have you ever noticed that pretty much everyone today lives their lives at a neck breaking speed? I've been made aware of this fact recently through some specific classes and a conference I recently attended. One thing that is usually sacrificed when living a fast paced life is the small things. Sometimes these small things have greater significance than we realize. In 2 Kings 6, there is a passage of a small story that could possibly be missed if you are not paying close attention. However, this small story contains a really huge miracle.
The axe head which falls into the water floats. This is not supposed to happen. Iron is not buoyant; it should sink to the bottom of any body of water. God decides that the axe should float, and then it floats. This helps establish Elisha as the continual leader and trustworthy man of God. While his reputation did not completely rest on this one incident, it was greatly influenced by it.
Is it possible that we have moments like this throughout our lives that we completely miss? I think so. Things happen which cannot be explained, yet we do not take the time to praise God for it. Nor do we tell others about the great glory of God in the small things in our lives. We need to learn to slow down and see the miracles in our lives and soon after give God the praise.
