Summary

2 Kings 4:38-41 We continue our Elisha series as we dive into the scripture about the “Bad Stew.” During a famine in Gilgal, Elisha shows how God can take even the scariest situations and turn them into miracles. When poisonous gourds accidentally get added to a pot of stew for the prophets, God uses Elisha to fix the problem. This story reminds us of God’s power to care for us and teaches the importance of trusting Him, using wisdom, and seeking guidance when we face problems. I also address that God gives us wisdom to make smart choices, and when kids are unsure, they should talk to their parents for guidance. 💌 Share the Love this February 2025! 💌 When you get one, you give one! 💝 Purchase a 1-year Patreon membership and receive a FREE 1-year membership of equal value to gift to someone special. 🎁✨ To connect with us, go here.
