Bible Verse Open Heavens Daily Devotional August 7, 2024
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
2 Kings 6:1-7

Miracles happen when God suspends one or more laws of nature. For example, when Jesus walked on water, He suspended the law of gravity. Many times, it is difficult to explain a miracle to someone who does not know God because you will be trying to explain how a law of nature suddenly lost its effect.
The good news, however, is that it does not matter what the world may say; my Daddy is the miracle-working God, and miracles happen when He steps into a matter. In 2 Kings 6:1-7, when the sons of the prophets were cutting wood so they could build a bigger dwelling place for themselves, the axe head that one of them was using fell into the water, and he cried to Elisha.
The young man cried because he knew that, according to the law of nature, when a heavy metal like an axe head drops in the water, it will sink to the bottom.
He also knew that no one amongst them could swim to the bottom of the water to pick up the axe head. He thought he was finished, but thankfully, he called on a representative of the Miracle Worker on Earth for help. The moment the Miracle Worker was introduced to the situation, hope came. All Elisha did was to simply reverse the law of nature.
He put a little stick into the water, it went to the bottom of the river, and the heavy axe head swam to the surface. The Miracle Worker will reverse any law of nature to bring hope to every hopeless situation in your life or around you today, in Jesus’ name.
Do you need a miracle? Are you in a situation where you know that the only way out is if God intervenes? All you need to do is cry out to Him today. Don’t try to work things out on your own; take out time to cry to Him until you hear a word from Him.
Doctors are helpless when faced with incurable diseases, but with The Great Physician, no disease is incurable. If the body part is so damaged that it cannot be repaired, He will simply replace it because He is the manufacturer.
Some financial situations are so terrible that the best finance consultants cannot solve them, but my God can bring money out of the mouth of a fish to solve financial problems.
Beloved, call on Him today and let Him work a miracle in your life.

1. The Great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
Chorus: Sweetest note in seraph song;
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Jesus, blessed Jesus!
2. Your many sins are all forgiv’n,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;
The veil ’twixt you and God is riven,
Redemption wrought by Jesus.

I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus.

No other name but Jesus;
Oh, how my soul delights to hear
The precious name of Jesus!
Chorus
