Beyond Measure

2 Kings 6:1-7

¹ The members of the group of prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we now live under your authority is too small for us. ² Let’s go to the Jordan River and each get a log from there. Then we can make a place to live there.” Elisha said, “Do it!” ³ One of them said, “Please come with us, your servants.” Elisha said, “Okay, I’ll go.” ⁴ So he went with them. They came to the Jordan River and began cutting down trees. ⁵ One of them was cutting down a tree when his ax head fell into the water. He cried out, “Oh, no! Master, it was a borrowed ax!” ⁶ The man of God said, “Where did it fall?” He showed Elisha the place. Elisha then cut a piece of wood, threw it into the river there, and the ax head floated up. ⁷ “Lift it out,” Elisha said. So the man then reached out and grabbed it.
