2 Kings 2:14-3:27
‘Where
is the Lord, the God of Elijah?’(2:14). Elijah was no longer there -
but God was still there! Don’t imagine that God goes away when there’s a
change of ministry. While Elijah had been serving the Lord, Elisha was
being prepared for his time. God is always one step ahead of us. We are
living in the present day. He is planning for the future. With each
succeeding generation, the question is asked, ‘Where is the Lord?’. In
every generation, God is looking for those who will serve Him -
‘testifying of the Gospel of the grace of God, testifying of repentance
to God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, declaring the whole
counsel of God’(Acts 20:24,21,27). This is ‘the mantle of Elijah’(2:14) -
the mantle of prophetic ministry. Will you ‘take up the mantle’ for God
and the next generation?
