where was the axehead? today I learned something about lost and found. I needed some pepper for my egg mayo, I searched for my pepper container at the usual box but it was not there. I looked at the dining table but it was not there. Then hubby said something, it should be at it's regular place. I looked and looked again but could not find it. Then I rearranged the bottle of cooking oil back to it's original place, then I saw the pepper container! It was right where around it's usual place!
Then I immediately applied this principle to look for a lost book, yes! it is found, it was just on the floor near the table I usually put it. Wow!
I remember someone ever mentioned that our lost items were not actually lost. They’d been misplaced. So we would be able to locate them somehow.
Then I remember the story of the lost axehead .... Elisha asked his disciple who had lost his axehead to throw a wooden stick into the water where the axehead was lost and God did the miracle! HE made the metal axehead float onto the water where the disciple could retrieve it and get back to his work! So if we find that we might have lost something precious to us, we could locate it (with God's miraculous help) around the same area where we might have lost it. A proven Biblical principle for lost things. So blessed ....
1 Kings 6:1-7 KJV
1 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.
