DAD'S RAMBLINGS – Stay Close
I Kings 2:10
"So [Elijah] said, 'You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken up from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.' "
The responsibility for the passing of the mantle rested on Elisha. He had to stay close to Elijah. I can imagine there were many things that could have distracted him and drawn him away. But receiving the spirit of Elijah was a priority for Elisha. If I want the mantle of the Spirit of Jesus to rest on my life, it must be a priority. I must stay close to Him, and not be pulled away by other endeavors, no matter how good they may be. My responsibility is to walk close to Jesus.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The mantle of the Spirit falls on those who stay close to Jesus.
Have a "close" day. Love you
