TODAY'S RAMBLINGS – The Loss of Spiritual Giants
II Kings 2:12
"And when Elisha saw it, he cried out, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horseman.' So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them into two pieces."
Elisha's grief at the departure of Elijah was not just because he had lost a personal friend and mentor, but because the nation had lost a spiritual giant. The true strength of a nation is not in its political leaders or its military might, but in its spiritual fiber. "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God" (Psalm 20:7). "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD" (Psalm 33:12). The death of a godly person is a great loss to any nation.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: People who love and serve God are the true strength of any nation.
Thank God today for spiritual leaders. Love you.
