The Impossible Really Isn't

A situation that has always intrigued me is the one found in 2nd Kings 6. It describes where a man found himself in what looked to be an impossible situation. He had borrowed an ax to cut some logs and, while using it, the iron ax head flew off into a nearby body of water. And like most people, he panicked and shouted, "oh no it's borrowed". Fortunately, this story has a happy ending which I will discuss a little later. If this or a similar situation happened to most people, they would immediately begin to mentally calculate several things. First would be how much would a new ax Head cost; next would be where to find one and, finally, what would they tell the person they borrowed it from. If you'll notice, it never occurred to them to ask God for help. Now, back to our story. At once, when this crisis happened, this fellow called out to God for help. Elisha, God's man, was there and took immediate action. He wanted to know where the ax head went into the water and then he threw a tree limb into the water and the ax head swam up from the bottom of the lake and attached itself to the stick. The man then retrieved his "lost" ax head and the crisis was over. Wow, you're thinking, that isn't possible. Iron cannot swim! That's just a fairytale. Well, my friend, that's where you're wrong! God is good and Elisha had faith in His goodness. God's word is truth. Let God be true and everyman a liar. There is NOTHING impossible with God. If you are a child of God, He wants to solve your crisis. His word contains your needed solution. It contains the answer to your crisis. Search the Scriptures and find your answer and believe the faithfulness and integrity of God's word. It takes faith, and "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God". Jesus said, "let not your heart be trouble". So, when a crisis comes your way, and it will, don't panic just call on Almighty God Who causes the impossible to be possible. Give Him all the glory. Much love…
