2nd Kings 6-8

I detail our memorable July 4th holiday. From participating in the longest parade in the United States, to watching an Oakland A's game and seeing fireworks after. For the reading, we go over more of Elisha's miracles and the strained relationship the King of Israel has on Elisha. A famine hits Israel and a siege from the Samarians. The king demands Elisha's head because he thinks Elisha's god is behind this. The belief that killing a man could control a god shows how little the king thought of God. This is a perfect illustration of a small man who never had true faith in God. God is not some talisman that can be taken out of a box and put back in it when convenient. God is God. Sometimes it will rain, and sometimes there will be a drought. Love God always.
