Reading – 2 Kings 1-2

Highlight Verse:

“Elisha picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen when he was taken up. Then Elisha returned to the bank of the Jordan River.”
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God could have made Elijah’s cloak fall to rest straight on Elisha’s shoulders.

He didn’t.

Elisha had to choose.

Elijah was the only true prophet of God in Israel.

To don his mantle was a huge responsibility.

Elisha didn’t hesitate.

He picked up the cloak.

He stepped right into his calling.

Can it be that simple today?

You could say that Elisha was a special case. Elijah specifically called out Elisha.

Not everyone is called to be the primary prophet of the people of God.

But we are all called to something.

If you listen to God through His Word and the Holy Spirit and those to whom you look for spiritual guidance, you will likely find your calling.

The tough part is picking up that calling and acting on it.

Have you heard or seen what your calling is?
What have you done to act on it?
