2 Kings 2: 9. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken from you."
Elisha has been following Elijah from place to place. Prophets in each place ask him if he knows that Elijah is about to be taken from him. He does. Elijah asks this question,and Elisha wants a double portion of Elijah's spirit. With a warning, Elijah grants the request. Elijah leaves in the whirlwind,and Elisha begins to do miracles.
I am weak in faith. I was sure that retirement would bump up my faith, but I fall right back into self-reliance. I didn't lean on God like I should. Why is it so easy to fall into old habits?
Prayer: I want to be more faithful. Guide me to You, O Lord. Let first impulse be to turn to You in prayer.
Amen
