The Context
Terminology Reference: In the old days people used to talk differently. Instead of calling an ax, an ax, they would call it an ax of splitting, or a knife of cutting
II Kings 6:1-7
6 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.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
Luke 14:5
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
Psalm 91:3
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler...
Does your ax head constantly slip off the handle every time you split wood?
Does your #1 donkey often find himself stuck in a pit on Sunday mornings as you are leaving to go to church?
Do you find yourself often caught when roaming the Alaskan wilderness trap lines put out by "Fowler incorporated"?
Then do I have the solution for you!
For just 1 mustard seed of faith
You will no longer have to be fearful because you borrowed an ax head and lost it again.
That's right - there will be no more complaining neighbors when you return from church because your donkey has been braying up a storm all morning.
Not only your "stuff" but you too can be retrieved and once again feel free to roam about the wilderness
