Of Axes and Angels

This lesson explores two of Elisha’s miracles that showcase God's care—from the recovery of a borrowed axe head to the deliverance of Israel from the Aramean army. Elisha helps a prophet retrieve an irreplaceable iron tool, demonstrating that God intervenes in personal concerns. Later, when enemy forces surround the city to capture Elisha, he asks God to open his servant’s eyes to see the heavenly army protecting them. The Arameans are then blinded, led into Israel’s capital, and shown mercy instead of vengeance. The lesson warns against the cultural obsession with angels, urging believers to seek God's presence and protection alone. Ultimately, God is shown as attentive to both national crises and individual fears.
