Making Iron Float

Tonight we want to look at another of Elisha’s amazing miracles which the Lord gave him to perform to the great encouragement of this individual man, one of the sons of the prophets, who had borrowed a tool to help in the work of building a new Seminary building to the glory of God. While he was working, swinging the ax, the iron ax head, which must have been loosened over time, came off and flew into the river, and the prophet who had borrowed it, could not find it. So he came and told Elisha about this sad thing, and Elisha was determined to help him. We want to look 1st, at the setting of the miracle, then 2nd – Elisha’s consent to be a helper in this good work, and then 3rd – What this miracle means to us today; that he was able to make the iron float. I pray that we would together see that God is very interested in all of the particular concerns that each of us has in our particular labors in promoting the advance of Christ’s kingdom, and He will help us through His servants.
