II Kings 6:5 ” As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. ‘Oh, my Lord,’ he cried out, ‘it was borrowed!’ “

This story is about the Company of Prophets and Elisha.  Their meeting place had become too small, so they were in the process of building  themselves something larger.  As they were cutting down trees,  an axe head flew off and landed in the Jordan River, sinking immediately.   The distraught prophet cried out to Elisha, who threw a stick into the water where the axe head had sunk , causing the iron to float.  This can only remind us that nothing is impossible with God…if He can make a hunk of iron float like a leaf…He can work a miracle in our lives today.

II Thessalonians 3:16 ” Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

Romans 2:4 says that He is the “God of peace.”  Do you need peace in your life today?  Have the worries, anxieties, and troubles of the world crowded into your mind and caused unrest and turmoil?   Why deny yourself of God’s kindness and mercy…why deny yourself of His peace?

I Corinthians 4:20 ” For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.”

You can tell someone about God.  You can share what He’s done in your life, and how you’ve been changed.  But words are empty until the Holy Spirit reveals to that person the true nature and reality of the might and  authority of God .

Joshua 23:14 ” You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.”

The Lord is faithful to all His promises…not just some…not just to the ones He wants to keep.  No, God cannot go back on His promises to you.  His Word is eternal…His covenant is forever.  His precious promises to you will never  fall short…they will never be in vain.
