2 Kings 2: 8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
Elijah is about to leave in a whirlwind. God will take his faithful servant to heaven. On the way, he performs this miracle. After leaving Elisha alone, Elisha used Elijah's cloak to replicate the miracle. He returns to take on the role of prophet.
These miracles are pretty awesome. Elijah was so much a man of God. He has witnessed so much, endured so much without losing a bit of faith. Elisha asked him for a double portion of his spirit. They lived with more faith than I can imagine.
Prayer: Lord, give me greater faith. Help me to feel You in all that I do. Give me the kind of confidence that only comes from knowing that You are in charge of my life.
Amen
