2 Kings 2:19-25 "The people of the city said to Elisha, "Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive." "Bring me a new bowl," he said, "and put salt in it." So they brought it to him. Then he went out to the spring and threw the salt into it, saying, "This is what the LORD says: 'I have healed this water. Never again will it cause death or make the land unproductive.'" And the water has remained pure to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken. From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. "Get out of here, baldy!" they said. "Get out of here, baldy!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria."
In 2 Kings 2:19-22, we see the first of Elisha’s many miracles that he performed. His first miracle consisted of Elisha purifying the unproductive water for the people of Jericho. God used Elisha as a conduit of His love to help meet the needs of others. Everyday God gives us someone to help or something to do for Him. It may be as simple as helping some one with a simple chore or giving out of a cheerful heart. Like Elisha, God often uses us as a conduit of His love to help those in need. Take time today to think about whom you know that could use help and what steps you can take to assist them in meeting their need. Who has a need that you can meet? What’s one step you will take to meet that need? I know you can do it...so get out there and do what God has for you today.
You are Loved!
