“But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.” - 2 Kings 6v5-7
Losing a tool is certainly no big deal. It happens to us all the time. Here the Bible tells us about a time the prophet’s school needed a new building so they set about chopping down trees to build one. These were no men of means, typical Bible school students J.
Suddenly one of the axe heads flew off and sank to the bottom of the Jordan River. The man who was using it was distraught. He had borrowed the axe and had no way to repay the owner. He went to Elisha who calmly picked up a stick and threw it into the river where the axe head had gone in and the axe head floated back to the top.
Our God cares about the “little things” in our lives. What “axe heads” have you weighed down today?
