Guest Speaker Katie Friesen Smith Lumberjack Woes (2 Kings 6:1-7) Elisha was known as a miracle-working prophet. Reading how he divided the Jordan River, multiplied the oil for a widow, raised a boy from the dead, multiplies food and healed a man of leprosy - leaves present day readers wondering why an anti-climactic miracle about an axe would be included in scripture. As is the case for all of the miracles, Elisha is not the main character of the story...God is the main character. The miracle in 2 Kings 6 demonstrated that God's presence and power is available to all individuals in need.
