Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Kings 6:6

"And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim." — 2 Kings 6:6 (ASV)

God can do all things; he can make iron swim—we cannot—and yet you see the prophet did it, and he did it by the use of a stick. He cut down a stick.

Was there any connection between the stick and the iron? I can't see any, and yet God does use means, and he would have us use means. He cut down a stick and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.

If you're in great trouble tonight, have confidence in that God who can make the iron swim. If you have some worry, and you do not know how to meet it, some work, and you do not know how to do it, look to him who made the iron swim, and he can do the same for you. Trust him, rest upon him, and see if he does not do it.
