Purposeful direction! – 2 Kings 2

2
Dear Saints,
Today we continue in 2nd Kings by prayerfully reading, 2 Kings 2.
Another miracle from the prophet Elijah,
he divides the Jordan river. Elisha
stays with Elijah until he is taken up into heaven. Elisha sees Elijah depart in God’s chariot
so he is manifested to be Elijah's successor. Elisha heals the waters of Jericho, by
placing salt in it as directed by God. Those that mocked Elisha were destroyed;
“23 He went
up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small
boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go
up, you baldhead!” 24 And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed
them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and
tore forty-two of the boys. 25 From there he went on to Mount Carmel, and
from there he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:23-25, English Standard
Version (ESV). God called Elisha to
follow Elijah. In spite of being urged
to turn back Elisha kept on track holding fast to the path God called him to
walk. He was rewarded for his persistence.
Listen Christians God called us to
follow his son, Jesus. Stay on track in the race and God has more rewards for
us. God called us for a purpose, beyond
going to church twice a week. “No temptation has
overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let
you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also
provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1
Corinthians 10:13 ESV. God has a
purpose for us; it is up to us to stay on track. Live a Christ centered life and depend on
Jesus for the strength and the Holy Spirit for direction to keep the first
thing first. That is salvation through the blood of our Lord Jesus. God gave us freedom to serve and love
him. If we are true to him our lives
will be filled with purposeful direction.

“Do
all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and
innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and
twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast
to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did
not run in vain or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16 ESV.
