ASK then go FACE IT

NASB

2 Kings 6
The Axe Head Recovered 1Now (A)the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us.
2"Please let us go to the Jordan and each of us take from there a beam, and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live." So he said, "Go."
3Then one said, "Please be willing to go with your servants." And he answered, "I shall go."
4So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.
5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, "Alas, my master! For it was borrowed."
6Then the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And when he showed him the place, (B)he cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7He said, "Take it up for yourself." So he put out his hand and took it.

The Amplified
5But as one was felling his beam, the axhead fell into the water; and he cried, Alas, my master, for it was borrowed!
6The man of God said, Where did it fall? When shown the place, Elisha cut off a stick and threw it in there, and the iron floated.
7He said, Pick it up. And he put out his hand and took it.

NKJV
5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, master! For it was borrowed.” 6 So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. 7 Therefore he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.

Someone shared abt the passage yesterday at prayer meeting... something that he said kept ringing in my mind. The man of God asked where did the axehead fall? Took a stick and cos the impossible to take place - iron floated.

It speaks to me - when the axehead fell - it is a place/area of my failure = which immediately the 1st area was my inability to express and follow by it a specific incident that took place 2 weeks back.

When the son of Man asked where - it is like God asking me where have I failed? And I have to "re-visit" the "place" I failed in order to tell Him. I have to face it with Him.

He showed him the place = is like surrendering to God

Axehead float - God did the impossible

Likewise.. I nid to re-visit the incident... face the failure this time round with Him. He will do what I cant do...

v7 - I will have to do what is required of me.

Lord.. this is where I failed. I am ready to surrender.. to re-visit it n move on from there.
