The Tiniest Thing!

I was reading this story the other day about Elisha the Prophet and some of his Prophet Boys. They were looking to build a new tree house because the place that they were using to keep their He-Man Woman Haters Club meetings was no longer big enough to contain all of them...(mind you, I'm totally paraphrasing the story...lol...Read 2 Kings 6 for the details). They decided to go down to the river to start collecting logs for the new house, but while they were chopping the axe that one of the Prophets was using fell into the river. The prophet who was using the axe started to freak out because it wasn't his to begin with! He borrowed it from someone to get the log house finished, so he knew that the axe's owner would catch a royal fit if he brought him back a messed up tool. The prophet ran to Elisha spazzing out over what had happened and he asked him to please do something to help the situation. He was like,

"...OH MY BABY JESUS!! I BROKE MY FRIEND'S AXE! HE IS GONNA KILL ME DEAD!! MAMA NO!!"

Elisha like the ultimate gangster that he was, calmly approached the situation and said to the prophet,

"...Calm down dude! Just show me where it fell?”

Now here's where the ultimate awesomeness takes place...Elisha cuts a regular stick and throws it into the water around where the prophet pointed out that the axe first got lost, and wouldn't you know what happened next...the ax head floated to the top of the water. Tell me that is not the coolest bible story you've ever read in your life! Now I didn't just retell you all of this for the purposes of "oohs" and "ahhs," but rather to point out the fact that God is concerned with even the most miniscule matters in our lives. I believe that God included this story in the bible to remind us that there is nothing too big or too small for God to handle. Sometimes we tend to think that God will only answer prayers that pertain to major things going on in our lives; however, that is so not the case! The same way that God can heal you of major sickness and disease, is the same way he can help you find your keys when you misplace it. God cares about EVERYTHING that concerns you. Can you wrap your mind around that?! Every single detail of your life and what happens in it matters to God. If it matters to you, it matters to Him...if it bothers you, it bothers Him. The prophet in the story was all messed up in the game because he lost an axe head that didn't belong to Him. When he ran to Elisha, he knew that this man through God's power was able to fix the situation and get back the axe. If the prophet felt that it was okay to go to God about finding an axe, what makes you think you don't have the same right?! You want your hair to grow, tell God! You lost your wallet, tell God! Need help to stop cursing, tell God! Can't remember the password to your email account, TELL GOD! Here's your litmus test for yourself to know what to go to God about....If it matters to you, then you can tell God about it, cause it will matter to Him too!
