2 Kings 4
If you think we live in a difficult politico-religious climate, think about the world Elisha was living in! There wasn't a single good king in the North -- all had perpetuated false religion of some sort or another.
But 2 Kings 4 highlights individuals and situations connected to the ministry of Elisha. All experienced, and were supportive of, the things of the God of Israel! Four situations show the power of God available to individuals despite what the government under King Jehoram was like. What a difference one person submitted to God can make! What a reminder that the power of God is available even when the national spiritual climate is poor!
After Elijah was transported to heaven, Elisha asked, "Where is the God of Elijah" for his own ministry and life. And now Elisha is experiencing miracles very similar to those Elijah did.
