DAD'S RAMBLINGS – An Up-To-Date Experience
II Kings 2:13-14
"He also took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan....and struck the water, and said, 'Where is the LORD God of Elijah?' And when he had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elijah crossed over."
Elijah was not content to live in the past on prior experience. He wanted an up-to-date miracle. He could have made the mantle of Elijah an museum piece, as a reminder of the "good old days" when God made the waters of the Jordan part (vs. 8). It is good to remember those times in the past when I experienced the blessings of God. But I can't live there. I need God's miracle in the "now." Where is the LORD God of Elijah? He is still doing things today just like He did yesterday. I want to experience God's presence today.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: It is not enough to remember past spiritual experience; God wants to do things today if we will seek Him.
Have an "up-to-date" day. Love you.
