April 3, 2020: Day 62 – II Kings 4

It is hard to keep up with all of the miracles that happen in this one chapter at the hands of Elisha.  It is interesting how Elijah tends to be the prophet that takes the day and is the most well known, and yet Elisha does indeed seem to have double the Spirit of God that Elijah had.  Let’s list the miracles that happen in this chapter alone:  a widow saves her two children from slavery because Elisha allows oil to continually flow from a vessel to fill up all the empty jars that were brought to the widow.  A barren woman conceives and bears a son.  That son dies and over a long period of time is raised from the dead by Elisha.  Elisha changes a toxic soup to a delectable delicacy.  Elisha feeds hundreds of people with a meal only meant for him.

It is fascinating how far below the radar he flies, and yet he raised someone from the dead.  We don’t know much about Elisha but he is definitely a man of God and one that we would do well to see how his story ends in this book of the Bible.  Follow along with his life with me.  It makes me think of all the untold stories of the heroes who during this time are flying below the radar but making a substantial difference in the lives of people.
