Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.
Do you remember the day when God was about to take Elijah up to Heaven? On the journey, Elijah and Elisha stopped at several places. Each time, Elijah offered for Elisha to stay there, but Elisha refused. Gilgal was where Elisha was from. For him, it was the starting line. Jericho was a place of a grand triumph for God’s people. But Elisha refused to stay put at the beginning, not growing, or in past victories. He traveled with Elijah over the Jordan River and saw God take him up to Heaven. In a sense, Elisha crossed over a servant but came back a prophet. He gave up his life to the Lord’s service and, in turn, got a new and better life. So my question for us today is: are we stuck not growing or simply celebrating past victories? Or are we committed to giving up our whole life to the Lord for His service—living for Him and sharing the Gospel? For resources, visit www.sharelife.today.
