We read in the Book of 2 Kings in chapter 2 that Elijah and Elisha crossed the Jordan River after Elijah struck the water with his rolled up cloak. The water divided and they crossed on dry ground. Then the Lord separated the two with a chariot of fire and horses, and took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind.
?When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal (2 Kings 2:1). Elijah said to Elisha “Stay here, the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel (2 Kings 2:2). The company of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and asked “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?” “Yes I know” Elisha replied, “but do not speak of it.” (2 Kings 2:3). Then the Lord told Elijah to go to Jericho, and to the Jordan. And each time Elisha refused to stay behind and he accompanied Elijah on his journey to the Jordan. And each time the prophets asked Elisha if he knew that the Lord was taking Elijah today. Each time Elisha gave the same reply (2 Kings 2:4-7). When Elijah and Elisha stopped at the Jordan (2 Kings 2:7), 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 (2 Kings 2:8). When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your Spirit” Elisha replied (2 Kings 2:9). “You have asked a difficult thing” Elijah said “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours - otherwise not” (2 Kings 2:10). As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11).
Thought for today: God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people.
?Thought for the future: trust in God today, and prepare for your tomorrow. Where will you spend your eternity?
