Read and Meditate on Today’s Daily Guide Devotional for 7th June 2023. May the Lord bless you as you study!

TODAY’S TOPIC: THE TRANSLATION OF ELIJAH

Opening Prayer: Grant me grace dear Lord to apply what you will teach me today as I read this passage.

Scripture: 2 King 2:1-14

Question(s) for Reflection
• Q 2: Is there any example for me to follow or not to follow?
• Q 7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?

Scripture Union Daily Guide 7th June 2023 Outline: 

Nothing happens to a child of God by accident. God knows and has planned every detail of our lives. Notice that it was God who decided when and how Elijah would be taken (v.1). We may not have the privilege of knowing when and how we shall depart this world, but we can be sure that it shall be at God’s appointed time and in His pre-determined manner.
Elijah was busy with the Lord’s assignment till he was taken up (vs.2a, 4a &6a). This is a good example for us to follow (Romans 12:11).

The parting blessing of a dying believer is something valuable. Elisha had followed Elijah for several years. He now desires a blessing from his departing master. This however was not to come so easily. He had to prove that he possesses what it takes to inherit the blessing (vs.9-10). On three occasions, his commitment, determination, and perseverance were tested (vs.2, 4& 6). What would have happened had Elisha agreed to stay back as suggested by his master? What can we learn from this as we follow the Lord (John 6:66-68; Matthew 24:13)?

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to be wholly committed to you and never miss the moment of my blessing.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with Isaiah 41:13

One-Year Bible Reading Plan
1 Chronicles 20, 21; Mark 6.
