Elisha took the mantle from his mentor, Elijah to carry on the good work that Elijah had committed to for a lifetime. Elisha’s faith was tested during this time of transition, tests that we all experience from time to time that push us to the limits of our faith. When we have a test of our faith, we also have a decision to make…to take up the mantel of leadership left to us or to let it go and leave it behind.
