The books of Kings are
filled with many miraculous deeds done by the prophets Elijah and Elisha
through the power of Almighty God. We
see a handful of flour and a little jar of oil lasting almost three years
feeding three people; salt added to water and it is no longer bitter; an iron
axe-head floating; oil not running out; people being raised from the dead; heavenly
angels and chariots surrounding an army and one of my favorites-a dead man is
brought to life by touching the bones of Elisha.
What a wonderful time to be alive!
What a wonderful time to be on God’s side!
The question that
comes to my mind is: Where is the God of Elijah and Elisha? Why don’t we see miracles like these today?
Is it because our faith is weak? Jesus
said all we need is to have faith the size of a mustard seed. What will it take
to develop this faith? Or, is developing
faith the wrong concept? Either I have
faith or I don’t.
Faith is not something
that I can produce in myself, faith is a gift from God so that I can believe
that He is and that He can do all things; nothing is too hard for Him; nothing
is impossible with God. If it is God’s
will-it will be accomplished. The most
important question is: Do I want to use
the gift of faith or do I want to do it by my power and hope
that it is God’s will?
By the grace of God let us live by faith!
