The Cap-fish

The sea was sparkling beneath the golden sunshine,

the azure, blue skies were streaked with white feathery

clouds, and the gentle pitching of the boat and the water

lapping against the sides was soothing and tranquil.

We reclined in the boat with sandwiches and lemonade, enjoying the warm summer breeze, when all of a sudden, a gust of wind broke through the tranquillity, whoosh!  

In an instant, my friend’s cap launched from his head, spun through the air, and cheekily dive-bombed into the sea just out of reach — plop!

The cap and boat were increasingly parting company, and the cap, with sentimental value, seemed to be sinking. We hastily pulled up anchor, and the skipper started up the engine, skilfully manoeuvring the boat in a sweeping circle towards the cap. We watched anxiously, would it sink or float?                              Thankfully, careful nautical manoeuvring brought the precious, waterlogged cap back on board.

 The axe head floated to the top of the water. 2 Kings 6:6

In the Bible one of Elisha’s company had been using a borrowed axe when the iron axe-head unexpectedly flew off and plopped into the river! Iron was expensive and losing a borrowed tool was serious, but God stepped in and miraculously caused the axe to float. His livelihood was rescued.

God loves to help you in your everyday needs, in everyday situations, in everyday practical ways, even the need to earn a wage, do you feel it?
