2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
Faith Is
By George Thurlow
Sea walking without a life jacket,*
Sound sleep in a lion's den,
Building an ark out in the desert,
Crossing the sea upon dry land.
It's an axe head floating to the surface,
Bodies rising from the dead,
A ninety year old mother,
A prophet raven fed.
Faith is a trusting father
Whose son would sacrifice,
Knowing God is faithful
Would raise him back to life.
It's trusting in a Savior
Who died upon a cross,
That His Blood will save us,
So our souls won't suffer loss.

2 Kings 6:4-7
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
