In 1 Kings 4-6, we read about a series of miracles that God performed through His prophet Elisha. Beginning with multiplying oil so a widow can pay her debt, to providing a miracle son to a barren woman, and then raising that child from the dead several years later, God uses miracle after miracle to meet the needs of two women. Then we read about how a group of prophets are miraculously saved from poisoning by a handful of meal, and the multiplying of bread and corn to feed more than 100 men. Chapter 5 relates the account of how Naaman is miraculously healed from leprosy. Then chapter 6 begins with a man losing an axe head in the water and Elisha causing it to float so that it can be recovered. That last miracle is small in comparison to the others, but it demonstrates that God cares about even the small needs in our lives, and often uses miracles to provide for even them. |
