Read: 2 Kings 2
Meditation: Much happens in these first few verses of Elisha's
ministry. He sees Elijah taken by God, he parts the Jordan River, he
makes a towns water safe and wholesome, and a group of 42 boys who were
mocking him are soon attacked and killed by two she-bears. Elisha really
does have a double portion of Elijah's spirit

Read: 2 Kings 4
Meditation: In this chapter we see many different ways that God
provides for those in need. First the oil for the Shunammite woman, then a
barren woman is given a son who later dies and then is raised from the dead,
a poisonous pottage is made edible and finally the feeding of a hundred men
from limited resources.

111 for your prayers today.
Read: 2 Kings 5
Meditation: This is probably the best known story of Elisha's
ministry and miracles. Naaman of Aram is a leper and is told by a captive
Israelite slave of the great prophet in Israel. He seeks out the prophet and
is told to go bathe in the Jordan seven times to be cured. He wants to
reward Elisha but it is refused. However, a dishonest servant, Gehazi, goes
to Naaman to ask for the reward. Gehazi is afflicted with Naaman's leprosy.

Meditation: God's grace is seen by many different people in
today's reading. First the prophets by causing a iron ax to float, then the
people are saved by the blinding of the enemy, then all of Israel is saved
by the intervention of God on their behalf. God's grace is for all of life's
challenges. As you read, think about your greatest need or concern then
entrust it to Your Lord.

Meditation: As you read today look for evidence of the Lord's grace
toward the Northern Kingdom who was idolatrous and unbelieving in the true
God. King Jehoash come to Elisha on his death bed and asks a miracle from
his enemies. God is willing to provide, but Jehoash stops short of what God
was willing to do.

21:3 for your prayers today.
Read: 2 Kings 13:20-21
Meditation:
Verse 21 shows us the truth that death itself must bow to the
power of our God. This resurrection serves as a reminder of the Lord's
promise to defeat death by the work of His messiah. Because of Jesus we
can say with Confidence, "I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever." (Ps. 23:6)
