2Ki 6:5-6, But as one was cutting down a tree, THE IRON AX HEAD FELL INTO THE WATER; …, “Alas, master! For it was borrowed… SO HE CUT OFF A STICK, AND THREW IT IN THERE; AND HE MADE THE IRON FLOAT.
GOD HAS NO LIMITS; HE CAN DO ALL THINGS EVEN IF IT DEFIES HUMAN REASON! I DON’T SEE WHY ELISHA USED A STICK BUT GOD CAN USE ANY MEANS, EVEN US, TO GET IT DONE!
2Ki 6:7, Therefore he said, “PICK IT UP FOR YOURSELF.” SO HE REACHED OUT HIS HAND AND TOOK IT.
GOD DID HIS PART, BUT WE MUST DO OUR PART! THE LORD CAN HEAL WITHOUT ANYONE PRAYING FOR HIM/HER, BUT HE GETS US INVOLVED IN HIS WORK WHEN WE PRAY!
2Ki 6:17, And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I PRAY, OPEN HIS EYES THAT HE MAY SEE.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, THE MOUNTAIN WAS FULL OF HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE ALL AROUND ELISHA.
ONLY GOD CAN OPEN THE EYES OF THE SPIRITUALLY BLIND. ELISHA AND HIS SERVANT WERE SURROUNDED, YET GOD OPENNED HIS EYES TO THE TRUTH! THERE ARE MORE FOR US THAN AGAINST US!
Psa 119:18, OPEN MY EYES, THAT I MAY SEE WONDROUS THINGS FROM YOUR LAW.
2Co 3:16, NEVERTHELESS WHEN ONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY.
THE LORD GETS US INVOLVED IN HIS WORK THAT WE MAY PLANT SEEDS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN, BUT IT’S HIS JOB TO MAKE IT BLOOM SO THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SEE HIS GLORY!
