"And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land."
2 Kings 2:19-21
I like the idea here of going to God and his prophets when we have a problem to solve that we don't know how to address. That's what we should do. If we know how to solve it, we can also go to God for courage and strength to do what needs to be done... that can also be its own kind of miracle, getting us through our own resistance or fear. But when we have no idea what to do, God still has answers for us, and often is the only one who can help. Today, as we encounter any obstacles or problems, let's pray. God can help us with anything, whether we understand the problem completely or not. Let's be open to God's suggestions and influence in our lives, and put him first. As we do, everything else will come that is God's will, and the things that aren't will be easier to release.
